Stroud & Anderson: Texans Lock in $47M Options

0:00On April 8th, Houston, Texans just locked in the fifth-year options for their star duo from the 2023 draft, quarterback CJ Stroud, and Ed Rusher, Will Anderson, Jr. That means Stroud gets $25,904,000 in 2026, while Anderson pulls in 21,055, 112,000 that same year. Both guys are eligible for big extensions this offseason, giving the team plenty of time to talk long-term deals before those options kick in. These two exploded onto the scene right away, grabbing offensive and defensive rookie of the year honors plus pro-ball spots in their first season. Anderson even earned all pro-status last year, turning heads across the league. Stroud has started 46 games with a 28 and 18 record, throwing for over 10,000 yards and 62 touchdowns. Anderson dominated with 30 sacks over three years, including a career-high-12 last season, and led the playoffs in sacks and forced fumbles. The Texans hit the playoffs all three years with this pair, but they are still chasing that deep run past the divisional round expect more fireworks.
