Texans general manager Nick Caserio dismissed rumors of moving quarterback C.J. Stroud, calling them "moronic." However, the speculation highlights Stroud's significant decline since his stellar rookie season. After completing 64.5% of his passes for 3,041 yards with 19 touchdowns against eight interceptions in 2025, Stroud added five interceptions and five fumbles in Houston's two playoff games. While Caserio confirmed "He's our quarterback," Stroud's inconsistent play has raised questions about his future with the team.
Raiders general manager John Spytek wouldn't rule out trading All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby, suggesting his return could surpass the value of the Micah Parsons deal. While Spytek expects Crosby to remain with Las Vegas in 2026, the team is evaluating all options as teams continue interviews and evaluations at the Combine.
