Texans owner Cal McNair: We're fully committed to C.J. Stroud, will see how contract works out
Key Points:
- The Texans quickly signed defensive end Will Anderson to a contract extension through the 2030 season after he became eligible.
- Anderson was drafted one pick after quarterback C.J. Stroud in 2023, but the team has been slower to secure Stroud’s future, having only exercised his 2027 contract option so far.
- Texans owner Cal McNair confirmed the team’s commitment to Stroud but provided no update on ongoing contract negotiations between Stroud’s camp and GM Nick Caserio.
- With Stroud’s fifth-year option exercised and no urgent pressure from the player, the Texans are unlikely to finalize a long-term deal before the next season, potentially making it a key offseason issue.
- The contract discussions for Stroud could take on new dynamics next offseason depending on the stances of both sides at that time.
