Baker Mayfield Gets $55M APY — What Does It Mean for CJ Stroud?

The quarterback market just got a little more interesting for the Houston Texans.

Baker Mayfield reportedly landing a $55 million APY extension raises an obvious question: what does this mean for CJ Stroud and his future contract? Is Stroud headed toward that kind of money, and what will the Texans have to prove before they make that commitment?

John Hickman and Brandon K. Scott go straight into the biggest questions surrounding the Texans heading into the season:

• Baker Mayfield’s $55M APY extension and what it means for CJ Stroud
• What should the Houston Texans’ offensive expectations really be?
• Is this offense capable of taking the next step?
• What potential problems could be waiting on the horizon?
• How much pressure is on CJ Stroud to deliver?
• Why isn't DeMeco Ryans considered a top-5 defensive mind in the NFL?
• Can the Texans defense live up to the expectations?
• And what are Texans fans getting right — and wrong — about this team?
