Whereas talking with reporters on Monday, Houston Texans common supervisor Nick Caserio stated that choosing up the fifth-year choice for 2027 hooked up to the contract for quarterback C.J. Stroud was “type of a no-brainer” choice.
That stated, neither Caserio nor Texans proprietor Cal McNair has given any hint that the membership desires to lock Stroud down by way of a profitable multiyear extension.
For a chunk revealed Tuesday, NFL insider Jason La Canfora of SportsBoom US spoke with unnamed executives about what Caserio did and did not say about Stroud’s future.
How Tom Brady might affect Nick Caserio’s view of C.J. Stroud
“I believe Nick selected his phrases fairly rigorously,” one government defined. “He’s going to lease [Stroud] for one more yr or two. Pay-as-you-go. He bought to see [Tom Brady] up shut in New England. He’s not going to be in a rush to do a cope with Stroud stepping into reverse.”
Caserio spent 20 seasons working for the New England Patriots till he was employed as Houston’s GM in January 2021. Whereas Brady guided the Patriots to 6 Tremendous Bowl championships throughout his twenty years with the group, Stroud has seemingly regressed from when he received the Offensive Rookie of the Yr Award for the 2023 season.
Stroud holds a profession postseason file of 3-3, and his performances this previous January sparked severe concerns amongst members of the NFL neighborhood. Particularly, he threw 5 interceptions and misplaced two of 5 fumbles over Houston’s two playoff contests.
C.J. Stroud nonetheless has lots to show to Texans earlier than receiving an extension
“One yr isn’t sufficient to offer him the type of cash he’s going to need,” a common supervisor stated about what it might value the Texans to signal Stroud to an extension this offseason. “It’s a must to make him wait and show it.”
Theoretically, Stroud ought to wish to guess on himself and imagine that he’ll play nicely sufficient later this yr to turn into dearer for both the Texans or a unique franchise. Except he presents Houston a noteworthy low cost, he’ll doubtless stay on his present deal by the beginning of the 2026 season.
