C.J. Stroud Trade Rumors Shut Down by Texans GM
25 Feb
Summary
- GM Nick Caserio emphatically denied Stroud trade speculation.
- Stroud is confirmed as the Houston Texans' quarterback for 2026.
- Stroud's future beyond 2026 hinges on his performance next season.

Houston Texans General Manager Nick Caserio has strongly refuted rumors suggesting a potential trade for quarterback C.J. Stroud. Caserio explicitly stated that Stroud is the team's confirmed quarterback and will continue in that role through the 2026 season, dismissing any speculation as "moronic."
Despite a difficult playoff performance, Stroud is currently on his rookie contract, providing the Texans with cost control for several seasons. However, the team's long-term commitment beyond 2026 will be contingent on Stroud's performance. If his play does not improve significantly next season, the Texans may face a critical decision regarding his future with the franchise.
