Houston Texans General Manager Nick Caserio has addressed and dismissed recent trade speculation surrounding star quarterback C.J. Stroud. During a media appearance, Caserio labeled the rumors "moronic" and definitively stated that the team is "not trading C.J.," per @AdamSchefter.
The firm denial from the Texans' front office aims to silence any noise regarding the future of the 2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Stroud, who led Houston to a playoff victory in his debut season, is widely considered the cornerstone of the franchise. Caserio’s comments reinforce the team's commitment to the young quarterback as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The Texans have been active this offseason in building a roster around C.J. Stroud, making the trade rumors particularly surprising to many league observers. By publicly shutting down the speculation in such strong terms, Caserio has made it clear that the quarterback position remains solidified in Houston for the foreseeable future.
