Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is entering the fourth year of his career without a new contract extension in place, according to a report from ESPN.
The report notes that Stroud's team faced a difficult conclusion to last season's playoffs, but the quarterback has expressed confidence heading into what ESPN describes as the biggest season of his career.
"I'm a hell of a football player," Stroud said, according to ESPN, reflecting his outlook as he prepares for the upcoming season without a finalized long-term deal.
ESPN's report did not specify additional details regarding contract negotiations between Stroud and the Texans organization, or a timeline for when a new agreement might be reached.
