Texans’ Nick Caserio Calls C.J. Stroud Trade Rumors ‘Moronic,’ Emphasizes: ‘We’re Not Trading Him. He’s Our Quarterback’
Texans GM Nick Caserio dismissed trade rumors about C.J. Stroud and confirmed he will be the team's quarterback for 2026 despite recent performance struggles.
- On February 24, Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio called trade talk about C.J. Stroud "moronic," saying `He ain't going anywhere` and `He's going to be playing quarterback for the Houston Texans in 2026.`
- Trade chatter grew after C.J. Stroud's seven-turnover playoff run and regression since his 2023 debut, with Houston facing a $27 million club option and his extension eligibility.
- This past season's numbers show C.J. Stroud threw 19 touchdowns, completed 64.5% of passes for 3,041 yards, and had eight interceptions in 14 games, missing three after a Week 9 concussion.
- Deciding the fifth-year option will likely delay a permanent resolution, as the Texans may wait until next year to negotiate a new deal or pick up the 2027 club option.
- With a tight salary-cap picture, Caserio said, 'This league is about ups and downs,' signaling plans to invest more around C.J. Stroud for the 2026 season.
