Texans GM Caserio: Extension 'Possibility' for C.J. Stroud
Stroud, extension-eligible for the first time entering his fourth season, has looked sharp in camp, completing throws in under 2.8 seconds on nearly every attempt.
Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio said there's a "possibility" of reaching a contract extension with quarterback C.J. Stroud, who is eligible for a new deal for the first time as he enters his fourth NFL season.
How has Stroud looked in camp?
Sharp. On the second day of practice, Stroud completed throws in under 2.8 seconds on nearly every attempt, showing the kind of quick, decisive processing that fits Houston's quick-game scheme and reinforces the case for locking him up long-term.
Who's been on the receiving end?
Second-year receiver Jayden Higgins connected with Stroud multiple times in that same session, with his continued development viewed as an important piece of the passing game's growth this season.
Has the defense had any answers?
Cornerback Kamari Lassiter provided the highlight defensive play of an otherwise quiet practice, coming down with a diving interception off Stroud. Head coach DeMeco Ryans has largely kept camp centered on walk-throughs and mental execution over full-contact reps, prioritizing communication and playoff-level readiness over live-action volume.
