From Houston: General manager Nick Caserio has announced that the Texans will not continue contract negotiations with quarterback C.J. Stroud during the season. If an agreement is not reached before the season opener, all talks will be paused until next offseason. The season opener is scheduled for September 13 against Buffalo.

The Texans have already picked up Stroud's option, but a long-term deal has not been agreed upon. Further details about the contract negotiations are available.

The deadline for reaching an agreement is September 13, after which negotiations will be put on hold until next year.
