A Hall of Fame Legend has made an eye-opening statement about clubs looking to acquire Zak Butters this year.

The NFL's latest major scandal led to a reporter being pulled from her job. But for the coach involved, it's 'business as usual' in the days leading up to the NFL Draft.

Nick Caserio has delivered strong statements regarding the status of quarterback C.J. Stroud.The Texans general manager reiterated that supportive stance regarding the former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year on Monday when asked for the thinking behind the team exercising a $25.9 million 2027 fifth-year club option. Caserio characterized the decision as an easy one, even after Stroud had a rocky postseason with a combined five interceptions and five lost fumbles with seven turnover in two playoff games.I dont really think that affects his future, Caserio said. Hes our quarterback. Weve said that from the beginning. I think that was really more of a procedural thing. I dont want to say it was a no-brainer, but it was kind of a no-brainer, so were glad hes here. Again, its more of a part of the process. So, were excited about his offseason. I think hes had a good approach, had a good attitude here. I think hes put a lot of work in from March and April. Im so excited to have him around here in the spring and Im excited to keep moving forward.Previously at the NFL scouting combine in February, Caserio threw cold water on unfounded trade speculation surrounding Stroud.Stroud was named in trade rumors previously dismissed by KPRC 2 as completely unfounded. Stroud will remain the Texans QB1 going forward.While the Texans arent engaging in contract negotiations at this time, they can shift that approach anytime. Ideally, they would be happy to reward Stroud provided he proves himself this season after being intercepted a career-high four times in an AFC divisional round loss to the New England Patriots.Its moronic, Caserio said in response to a question from KPRC 2. Were not trading him. Hes our quarterback. Hes going to be playing quarterback for the Houston Texans in 2026. Anything beyond that, you guys can speculate on that, but were not trading C.J. Stroud.Stroud has been the subject of heavy criticism since that game. However, the organization has had his back. It was an uncharacteristically sloppy performance from Stroud, who completed 64.5 percent of his throws as he passed for 3,041 yards, 18 touchdowns and eight interceptions while missing three games due to a concussion.A former Pro Bowl selection who declined an alternate invitation to the Pro Bowl, Stroud has passed for 10,876 yards, 62 touchdowns and 25 interceptions in three NFL seasons. Stroud led the NFL in touchdown to interception ratio with a 23:5 clip as a rookie, passing for 4,108 yards.Hes been a good player, and won a lot of football games, Caserio said. Quarterback is the hardest position to play in sports. He had some ups and downs. Thats natural for a position, but, overall, hes had a pretty significant impact on what we are as a program. Hes not going anywhere.Since the playoffs, the Texans and Stroud have taken several steps to move forward from a career-high four-interceptions in the teams 28-16 loss in the divisional round to the New England Patriots. The steps include adjusting his offseason approach, improving the supporting cast on offense, and making a coaching change. Jerry Schuplinski has been named quarterbacks coach, replacing Jerrod Johnson.C.J. is a young quarterback, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said during NFL meetings at the Arizona Biltmore. Being early in his career, hes gained a ton of valuable experience, including in the playoffs. It hasnt gone as we would like it to there. You always want to win it all.But when you go through those difficult moments, those tough times, you learn from them. I know C.J. has learned from those moments. Now, weve got to go out and improve and show it on the field. The way hes attacked the offseason, working hard, throwing every day, staying dialed in. Im excited to see how that translates into a really great year for us.For All-Pro defensive end Will Anderson Jr., the fifth-year option is a precursor to what is expected to be a blockbuster deal this offseason. Its regarded as a matter of when, not if a huge contract will be struck. The deal is regarded as complex and not imminent at this time, per sources, with both sides obviously motivated.League sources predict the contract could make him the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL, with average annual compensation of $50 million. His fifth-year option carries a guaranteed price tag of $21.512 million.I love Will Anderson, love everything that he brings to our organization, Ryans said. You talk about a leader and a guy who does everything the right way, everything Ive asked of him.I just remember speaking with Will, he was our first 30 visit, the first guy we had in. That meeting is still the best visit Ive ever seen. Hes just that type of guy. Hes a leader in all respects. I love having Will and what he provides our organization.Without getting into specifics about future plans, the McNair family made it clear how highly they value both players.Well let DeMeco and Nick [Caserio] make the football decisions there, but theyre exciting, really good young players, Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair said. We hope to have them around for a long, long time.PHOENIX -- #Texans Cal McNair and Hannah McNair on potential long-term deals for Will Anderson Jr., C.J. Stroud: 'Exciting, really good players, we'll hope to have them around a long, long time. ..
