Texans QB C.J. Stroud floated as surprise trade target for Steelers

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has been suggested as a surprise trade target for the Pittsburgh Steelers by Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr, amidst Aaron Rodgers' uncertain future. Stroud's 2025 postseason was "very rough," marked by five interceptions (four against the Patriots) and five fumbles (two lost). Despite this, he had a solid regular season, ranking ninth in EPA per play among 45 quarterbacks, and has won a playoff game in each of his first three NFL seasons, described as a "classic drop-back passer with just enough athleticism."
