C.J. StroudQBHOU

Stroud's contract situation and inconsistent play raise questions about his future with the Texans. The source frames 2025 as potentially his last year with Houston, noting that despite winning playoff games in three consecutive seasons, his performance has been erratic: he threw 4 TDs in a 44-10 win over the Ravens but completed only 47% of passes in a loss to the Seahawks, and the Texans scored fewer than 20 points in three games against the Chiefs, Patriots, and Seahawks despite the defense recording 10 takeaways in those contests. The source explicitly asks: 'Is this the last year for CJ Stroud?' and states 'Next year is the last year of Stroud's contract. This year very well could be his last with the Texans.'
