Texans Set Week 1 Deadline for C.J. Stroud Extension as QB Remains Signed Through 2027

Summary
Week 1 is the cutoff for any C.J. Stroud extension, Texans GM Nick Caserio said, with talks set to pause until the offseason if no deal is reached before the opener.
Offseason discussions have taken place, but Caserio indicated nothing is close, signaling Houston is unwilling to negotiate once the regular season begins.
April's fifth-year option pickup already locked Stroud in for 2027, leaving the quarterback under contract for at least the next two seasons.
That timeline gives Houston flexibility on a long-term deal, but also frames the next few days as the team's only window to finish one before the season.
