A.J. Brown, Mayfield, Stroud: The NFL's Next Offseason Cliffhangers

The NFL offseason remains active with several major endings still to be decided: a June 1 dead-cap relief could unlock a possible trade of A.J. Brown from the Eagles, Tampa Bay is expected to finalize a high-value extension for Baker Mayfield, Detroit must navigate extensions for its 2023 draft core (Gibbs, Campbell, LaPorta, Branch) within cap limits, Houston is positioned to extend C.J. Stroud as its future quarterback, and Kansas City still needs to bolster its wide receiver corps to support a now-onward Mahomes-loaded offense.

Texans lock in Will Anderson Jr. on three-year, $150M deal

The Houston Texans finalized a three-year extension with edge rusher Will Anderson Jr., worth about $150 million with $134 million guaranteed and including a no-trade clause, making him the league's highest-paid non-quarterback. Anderson, the 2023 No. 3 overall pick and 2025 first-team All-Pro, posted 12 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, and 23 QB hits in 17 games last season. The deal solidifies Houston's top defensive cornerstone as the team pivots toward signing quarterback C.J. Stroud to a long-term deal.

Montgomery aims to prove versatile workhorse for Texans

David Montgomery, traded from Detroit to the Houston Texans, insists he is more than a traditional power back and plans to showcase a versatile game—burst, hands, and durability—to shoulder a heavy workload alongside QB C.J. Stroud. The veteran back claims he's in his prime and has the off-season work to handle a bigload, while helping Houston revive its ground game after last season’s decline and potentially fuel a deeper playoff push.

Day 1 at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine Signals Stroud's Decline, Crosby Trade Buzz, and a Draft Shift

Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine highlighted four themes: C.J. Stroud’s stock has declined amid persistent trade rumors and public Texans’ backing, with teams weighing a potential fifth-year option; Maxx Crosby’s trade value could exceed past mega-deals as teams circle the Raiders; two offensive-minded head coaches—Sean Payton and Dave Canales—will relinquish playcalling in 2026 to coordinators, signaling a possible shift toward a CEO-style leadership; and the draft landscape looks more “best available” and value-driven, with emphasis on non-premium positions and fewer blue-chip quarterbacks at the top.
