Houston Texans General Manager Nick Caserio has finessed a noteworthy offseason thus far. His only blemish? Failing to sign his new rookie quarterback to a contract.
C.J. Stroud is one of only 25 rookies to enter into training camp without a signed contract according to NFL Trade Rumors. He’s also the only Texan draft choice yet to put pen to paper.
The second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is set to make just under $40 million. While the contract has yet to be signed, rookie contracts are fairly confined due to positional and draft pick data every year clearly defining the market.
