The Texans and No. 2 pick C.J. Stroud have agreed to terms on a four-year rookie contract worth $36.3 million in total, per multiple reports. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Stroud is getting his entire $23.83 million signing bonus guaranteed and upfront, something that Houston hasn’t done in the past.
Stroud was a two-year starter at Ohio State, playing in 25 games since 2021 and totaling over 8,000 yards passing with 85 passing touchdowns and just 12 interceptions. He was a Heisman finalist in each of the last two seasons, the only eligible player to do so.
