There have been a lot of trade rumors going around, and the latest might be the biggest shocker of them all. According to NFL draft expert Todd McShay, Houston Texans<\/a> quarterback CJ Stroud may be on the trade block.<\/p>\n

\u201cStroud hasn\u2019t been the guy the last two years in Houston that he was in his rookie year,\u201d McShay said via NFL reporter Arye Pulli. \u201cSome [teams] are looking at that and saying, can we get that rookie year out of Stroud here?\u201d<\/p>\n

As a rookie, Stroud threw for 4,108 yards with 23 touchdowns, but since then, his numbers have fallen off, and it was glaring during the playoffs.<\/p>\n

While the Texans’ defense carried this team the last few years, Stroud has struggled, and the fact that there are even talks of a possible trade is a shocker. While we\u2019ve seen the development of his peers like Bryce Young, Stroud hasn’t come on as quickly as the Texans would like.<\/p>\n

This was Bryce Young\u2019s first year in the playoffs, and although he had an up-and-down year, he shone in the playoffs, unlike Stroud. The Carolina Panthers<\/a> extended his contract through 2026, as Stroud remains undecided.<\/p>\n

Although Stroud may not be traded this year, next year may be his final year with the team if they don\u2019t see some improvement.<\/p>\n
