"We are not trading the guy. He's our quarterback. He's going to be playing quarterback for the Houston Texans in 2026. Caserio said the chatter was moronic, but that sometimes happens when a QB struggles as badly as Stroud did in a divisional round loss to the New England Patriots in January."
"The 2023 No. 2 pick burst onto the NFL landscape, becoming the fifth rookie to pass for 4,000 yards in a season and the first Ohio State quarterback to be named to a Pro Bowl. In his three years, Stroud has compiled 28 regular-season wins (seventh most), a 54.9 QBR (20th), 10,876 passing yards (ninth), 25 interceptions (12th fewest among quarterbacks with at least 30 starts) and 62 touchdown passes (tied for 14th) in the regular season."
"Stroud threw four first-half interceptions, putting the Texans in an early hole they couldn't escape. Houston fell 28-16, squandering a season in which its defense ranked No. 2 in points allowed (17.3 per game) and looked primed for a Super Bowl push."
C.J. Stroud, the Houston Texans' 2023 second overall pick, has experienced a significant career downturn despite an impressive rookie season. After ranking himself among the league's top five quarterbacks in 2023, Stroud struggled significantly in a divisional round playoff loss to New England, throwing four first-half interceptions in a 28-16 defeat. This poor performance sparked trade rumors, prompting GM Nick Caserio to publicly reaffirm Stroud's status as the team's quarterback through 2026. Despite the recent setback, Stroud's three-year resume includes historic achievements: 28 regular-season wins, 10,876 passing yards, 62 touchdown passes, and three playoff wins. However, his playoff volatility is evident, with six interceptions in postseason play.
