Houston Texans are in negotiations for a contract extension with Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud as training camp starts. ESPN's Adam Schefter noted that while the team desires to retain Stroud, discussions over salary and guaranteed money remain challenging. Stroud, who faced scrutiny after a tough playoff performance last season, had a solid regular season, throwing for over 3,000 yards and eight interceptions.
