C.J. Stroud Trade Rumors

As we’re all well aware, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a disastrous outing in the AFC divisional round against the New England Patriots. The backlash from this, as is often the case in sports fandom, was knee-jerkish and rapidly took on a torches and pitchforks vibe.

On the surface, it’s cheap and easy to say “C.J. Stroud cost the Texans a trip to the AFC Championship game.”

When you go below the surface, you find a variety of reasons that led to Stroud’s ultimate failures in that game.

If you take a step back and look at things objectively, the fail-points in the Texans chain are far more numerous than just 1 guy.

Five reasons the Texans Lost to the Patriots​

• Nick Caley’s offensive scheme was never, not once, Championship worthy in all of 2025. Ever.
• The offensive line that should have kept Stroud from having to run for his life then try and force miracles, was down several starters – and let’s face it – the line was never Championship caliber either.
• Caley’s play calling was never, not once, Championship worthy in 2025. Ever.
• A balanced offense requires a solid offensive line, productive run game, healthy wide receivers and dependable tight ends. None of which were really there in the full 60 minutes of that game.
• As hypothesized, the people speaking into Stroud’s ear might not be saying the things this particular young man needs to hear in order to rise above.

That’s five quick points that all wag the finger in directions other than Stroud. None of which are easily dismissed.

But, a not-so-insignificant number of football fans don’t see those things, just the actual on-field play results. And, that same not-so-insignificant number of football fans are easily riled up by sensationalistic takes from national level talking heads who get paid to sensationalize things. Particularly things that align with a not-so-insignificant number of football fans superficial interpretation of the game.

In no way is this right or wrong, but it is factual.

Unlike the rumor of Stroud being launched to another team for a hand full of magic beans.

During a recent interview, Texans general manager Nick Caserio shared his thoughts on the trade rumors:

Now that the Texans have affirmed Stroud isn’t going anywhere, it’s time to address the other 5 bullet points listed above.

• Nick Caley did improve as an offensive coordinator as the season went on. Unfortunately, when faced with a great opponent such as the Mike Vrabel/Terrell Williams duo Caley may once again come up short.
• Lots and lots of talk around the offensive line. Mock Drafters often have the Texans taking multiple o-lineman in the early rounds. Other pundits have them grabbing free agents and even trading for top tier talent. No matter how it shakes out, clearly the o-line needs to be a priority that’s addressed early so they have time to build chemistry. O-line coach, Cole Popovich needs to get the chemistry right – and fast.
• Maybe it’s time to bring in another “senior assistant” who is an Erhardt-Perkins playcalling master.

QBMethod.com on the Erhardt-Perkins offense:

Core Philosophy: “Pass to Score, Run to Win”

1. Possession Football: The Erhardt-Perkins offense is built around the concept of controlling the football. While traditionally seen as a run-first, play-action passing offense, its modern adaptations show that possession football and passing are not mutually exclusive. The primary goal is to maintain control of the ball, whether through running or passing.

2. Adaptability: One of the standout features of the Erhardt-Perkins offense is its adaptability. It does not require a superstar quarterback or elite receivers to be effective. Instead, it focuses on finding players who fit the system and can execute the plays efficiently. This makes it easier for teams to build a competitive offense without relying on high-profile talent.

3. Ease of Learning: Compared to other complex offensive systems, the Erhardt-Perkins offense is relatively straightforward to learn. This simplicity allows players to grasp the playbook quickly and execute plays with precision, even in challenging conditions like bad weather.

• Job 1 on balancing the offense is the o-line, #2 is running back. In my decades of watching and covering NFL ball, I’ve never seen anything like what’s going on with Joe Mixon. What I have seen is when this much obfuscation exists, the player is never a high-impact guy for that organization again. Based on that, the Texans need to use a high value resource to secure an elite RB1 this off-season.
• This last bullet-point is likely the hardest to quantify and probably the one most fans will never have visibility to, as far as corrective actions. Jerrod Johnson is the Texans quarterbacks coach. Fans will likely not know what the true relationship between Johnson and Stroud looks like until it’s far in the rear view mirror, if ever. Does that mean head coach Demeco Ryans needs another “quarterback whisperer” on staff? Maybe another “senior assistant”? A coach who specializes in QB development and play calling would be a coup, but also hard to find.

If you know anyone who keeps insisting Stroud will/should hit the trade block, aim them at this post. If nothing else, it should spark some interesting discussions that go further downfield than the butt-fumble “trade Stroud nowz!!” silliness.

Update: The Houston Texans and quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson have parted ways

Value of Things: Full Disclosure

Today we deviate from the normal course of breaking down numbers and analyzing players into the theatre of the absurd. So, what follows is a bit of a commentary. Yesterday, a major news story broke concerned embattled running back Joe Mixon and the Texans were likely to part ways. The cut would save the Texans 8.5 million and that is particularly true if they are able to designate him as a failed physical cut.

Of course, none of this is news particularly. Things have been heading this direction for months. In effect, this story exists on two levels. The surface level is what it did to the team this year to go without a bell cow back for the entire season. It raises questions about competence because you have to ask the question: what did the Texans know and when did they know it? This is particularly true when Nick Caserio announced that he thinks Mixon had offseason surgery. Thinks? You can’t be that daft can you?

Of course, that spills us into the second question. What is the appropriate way to get out that message. I might add that this is a common thread in Houston sports. Whether its Rafael Stone telling us that he just doesn’t think this is the Rockets season or Dana Brown or Joe Espada obscuring the facts on another injured Astro, disclosure seems to be a common theme in Houston sports. I would simply point out that none of the professional organizations (except maybe the Dynamo) have figured out the whole messaging side of this thing.

Let’s start with the ridiculousness of this whole situation and break down what we know. We know Joe Mixon has an injury. We aren’t quite sure what the injury is and it has been almost a calendar year. We think it’s a foot injury but we aren’t quite certain. He injured himself while working out. Or he didn’t. The injury is football related. Or it isn’t. They thought he would come back at some point this last season. Or they didn’t.

So, the question at hand is the question of disclosure. When does it make sense to be honest and when does it make sense to lie? Moreover, what is the best way to tell a lie? Yesterday, Nick Caserio said that he thought the offensive line did a great job last season and it was the best one of his tenure. Either that statement is a lie or Caserio is a drunken moron. I don’t think he drinks much.

Maybe there is some class or school sports executives go to in order to learn how to do these things. Those of us that have been following sports for decades know how these things are supposed to be said. You throw out a bunch of generalities that basically amount to nothing. “We feel like our offensive line improved last season, but we are always looking for ways to improve and upgrade our team. We will evaluate the unit as a whole as well as each individual player as we approach free agency and the draft.” It’s not incredibly difficult. That statement took me 30 seconds.

The ultimate question is whether you are better off telling the truth or obscuring the truth. I will just say that I believe they know what is going on with Joe Mixon. I believe they knew the extent of his injury and knew the prognosis going forward. To believe otherwise is to believe abject incompetence and I don’t think you win 35 games (counting the playoffs) in three seasons because you are incompetent. Instead, you either wanted to protect the player or protect yourself.

Let’s start with the player. Without facts on Joe Mixon we are left with speculation. We can start with the absurd. Does he even have a foot? We have no proof of that. We have seen no pictures and he certainly is not sharing. Maybe they are petitioning the league to see if he can play with an artificial foot. That’s obviously ridiculous but without facts you are left with the ridiculous as a possibility. Without facts we don’t know if he will ever play football again, how the injury happened, or what he has tried to do to recover. He may have had surgery? What kind of bush league operation is this?

From the team perspective, I definitely get why we are obscuring the truth. You think there is a competitive advantage that comes from teams not knowing the status of Joe Mixon. Well, at a certain point that becomes ludicrous. If a guy hasn’t played, practiced, or seen at the team facility by October or November we know what the story likely is. Obscuring it really doesn’t serve your interests either. This is particularly true as the trade deadline came and went.

The Texans botched this story from the get go. It doesn’t serve Joe Mixon and it certainly didn’t serve them either. I don’t expect 100 percent full disclosure in every situation. Heck, I don’t know if I expect it in any situation. However, in this case giving us zero disclosure failed the player and it failed the organization and made everyone look dumber in the process. That can’t be good for business.

Texans trade Juice Scruggs and picks for RB David Montgomery

The Juice Scruggs era in Houston has come to an end. The embattled offensive lineman never quite gained traction in his three seasons in Houston as he played center and guard. Unfortunately for him, he was not able to crack the lineup last season even when the team was shuffling guards. Obviously, the bigger ticket is David Montgomery. He may not completely answer the Texans’ questions in the running back room, but he is the beginning of the answer.

Update on terms: It's the #Texans fourth rounder, OL Juice Scruggs, and a 7th rounder for David Montgomery, per sources.

So, fifth-round value. But a complex deal. https://t.co/jG9nKIFmrL

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 2, 2026

Montgomery became available when he expressed displeasure with the time share in Detroit with Jahmyr Gibbs. However, Montgomery has still been productive in a platoon role. He has gained at least 715 yards in each of his six NFL seasons and reached a career high of 1070 in Chicago in 2020. However, his carries have diminished in each of the past three seasons as Gibbs has emerged as one of the best running backs in the NFL

How this impacts the draft and free agency is anyone’s best guess. The Texans were rumored to be in on guys like Kenneth Walker and Breece Hall, but this acquisition would seem to change that considerably. Depending on how they envision the running back room, they may still be in the market for a running back through the draft, but this seems clear that Joe Mixon is no longer in the team’s plans.

Of course, the other part of this trade is the shrinking of the offensive line room. Tytus Howard and Scruggs are now out the door. As things sit now, the Texans are still officially over the cap, but they have about a week to maneuver with restructures and other cuts to get to a spot where they can sign free agents. Clearly, the offensive line is an area of focus. What will they do next?

Texans Releasing S Jimmie Ward

And you thought today’s news was over? Think again! ESPN’s Adam Schefter just reported that the Houston Texans have released S Jimmie Ward

Sources: The Texans will be releasing veteran safety Jimmie Ward.

Houston will save $750K on their salary cap. pic.twitter.com/ckz5CZNnvI

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 3, 2026

According to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, the Texans now void Ward’s base salary of $2.75 million.

#Texans plan to release veteran safety Jimmie Ward after his contract tolled last season on the reserve physically unable to perform list, and he was scheduled for a $2.75 million base salary in 2026, per a league source @KPRC2

— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) March 3, 2026

A veteran signing at the beginning of head coach DeMeco Ryans’ tenure, Ward would start 10 games at safety in both the 2023 and 2024 seasons, but had his second year cut short by a season-ending foot injury that required surgery. In June 2025, Jimmie Ward was arrested and faced a felony assault charge stemming from alleged family violence, resulting in his placement on the NFL’s Commissioner Exempt list in August. He was taken off that list in September after a grand jury decided not to indict him, but Ward remained on the Texans’ Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list for the rest of the 2025 season.

In his 20 Games with the Houston Texans, Ward tallied:

• 98 Tackles, 5 TFLs
• 7 Pass Deflections
• 1 Forced Fumble
• 3 Interceptions for 65 yards
• 1 Interception returned for a Touchdown

Ward’s injury in late 2024 and subsequent significant legal issues made him an unlikely member of 2025’s starting cast, and some of general manager Nick Caserio’s moves last offseason made it clear Houston was ready to turn the page. Trading for Eagles’ safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and drafting S Jaylen Reed in the 6th round were the first steps towards moving on, and S Calen Bullock’s improvement sealed the deal. Any shavings of cap space the Texans front office can scrape from the rinds of the roster will be harvested for future contracts, and Ward was an easy target.

Being released by #Texans, veteran safety Jimmie Ward plans to contemplate whether to continue playing football. Taking classes this offseason @KPRC2 https://t.co/C8Wj77hK7L

— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) March 3, 2026

Who’s next? Caserio traded RT/G Tytus Howard to the Cleveland Browns and sent C/G Juice Scruggs and a few draft picks to the Detroit Lions in exchange for RB David Montgomery, effectively clearing up more cap space whilst bringing in talent on a weak spot of the roster. If he wants to open more room for the impending free agency – where many (including me) are hoping for Houston to be big spenders – then he’ll need to make a few more moves. RB Joe Mixon, anyone? Maybe…WR Justin Watson? Let us know who you think is next down in the comments below!

GO TEXANS!!!

[Houston Texans]

Value of Things: It’s moving day

The Value of Things journey began almost five years ago to the day. It began with two guiding principles. The first (and the genesis of the title) is that every player has value. The key to success is for a team to accurately figure out which players have the most value and which players don’t. This becomes a huge deal when you have a good team. A good team has good players. The key is to figure out who the good players are and who the great players are.

The second principle is that we wanted to use dispassionate analysis as much as possible. That means a reliance on facts, statistics, and reason as much as humanly possible. That means waiting a day to digest huge news stories like we had yesterday. The Texans swung two significant deals when they traded Tytus Howard for a fifth round pick and then traded a fourth round pick, future seventh rounder, and offensive lineman Juice Scruggs to the Detroit Lions for running back David Montgomery.

We should start with the initial reaction. Like most Texans fans, you felt a gut punch when your best lineman was dealt two off-seasons in a row. The Cleveland Browns immediately gave Howard a three year, 63 million dollar extension. It seems counterintuitive to take your weakest unit and deal the best player on that unit. With guard Ed Ingram officially a free agent, the Texans have only one starting lineman under contract. Jake Matthews could nominally be considered a second, but the Texans almost certainly will want to upgrade the center position. So, they have one starting lineman.

The flip side is that the Texans were paying Howard top ten right tackle money and top five guard money. PFF scores are not the end all be all of human existence, but it does provide a guide for how he has done in the last three seasons under the current regime. In short, calling him the best offensive lineman on the team is both true and misleading. He technically is the best, but that doesn’t mean he was good.

• 2023: 46.8 overall
• 2024: 69.5 overall
• 2025: 62.3 overall, 76.7 pass block, 49.5 run block

The numbers above are pretty consistent in terms of how they are broken down between run blocking and pass blocking. He typically does not allow sacks. He allows some pressure, but he is better than most in that department. Even in his best seasons, he has been fairly ordinary or worse as a run blocker. For those uninitiated to the PFF universe, players with 80 or more are usually Pro Bowlers. Players with 70 or more are solid starters. Players with 60 or above are either below average starters or solid rotational players. When you are below 60 you should not be a starter.

Leave Howard at tackle and you probably will see him live in the high 60s and low 70s in terms of an overall PFF grade. You can do a lot worse at tackle (or any other position on the line), but it is a struggle to see a player like that get top ten overall money at his position. This is particularly true when so many other players on the roster are due to also get top ten overall money at their position. It’s all well and good if they actually are among the best at their position. It is another to be an average player getting a bunch of money.

The second part of the deal is the David Montgomery trade. Montgomery has played in the league for seven seasons, has had 715 or more yards rushing every season and has averaged over four yards a carry routinely. He may not be Joe Mixon, but he is approaching that level. Unlike Mixon, he has only two years left on his contract, so you can easily move on from him after the season if he loses a step or if Woody Marks or another young back supplants him.

In comments, I labeled this as a “take my wife….please” kind of trade. It looks bad at the outset to lose more offensive line depth, but how much did you actually lose? Scruggs has been in the league for three seasons and could not get on the field much last season. This was in spite of the fact that the Texans routinely rotated guards. He could not crack that rotation. Were they wrong?

• 2023: 47.5 overall
• 2024: 63.5 overall
• 2025: 45.5 overall, 57.7 pass blocking, 40.5 run blocking

79 guards had 100 or more snaps in the NFL last season. Scruggs was 76th. According to the grade, he was virtually unplayable in two out of the last three seasons. He is essentially going the way of Kenyon Green. Some people (including here) will kill the Texans because their trade of Green did not work last season be C.J. Gardner-Johnson did not work out. The same could very well happen with Montgomery. The key is you are losing nothing by trading Scruggs. Quite frankly, he was taking a roster spot of someone that could have actually contributed when guys went down.

As for Montgomery, he was the 21st rated back in the league according to PFF. He was even better in 2023 and 2024. Montgomery has shown decent receiving skills in his career in addition to his running ability. He also at least proficient as a blocker in pass protection. So, he can be a three down back if the Texans choose. In his best seasons, he has lived between 200 and 250 carries. That ends up being somewhere between 12 to 15 carries. We could easily foresee Woody Marks getting the same kind of workload.

What will be interesting is to see where they go from a third running back standpoint. We can imagine Dare Ogunbowale will be back as a special teams demon and British Brooks is likely to be back as a fullback. That leaves one spot for a third complementary back. Could it be Jahwar Jordan or do the Texans still add a running back in the draft? At the very least, it probably takes them out of the Kenneth Walker/Breece Hall/Travis Etienne business. Under the circumstances, they probably don’t need a 9-10 million per season back. Montgomery will do just fine for six.

The bottom line is that there is still a ton of work to do. When evaluating any move you have to ask two questions: does it make sense and does it make your football team better? Considering the money, the deals make perfect sense. You save some money and add a position of need at the same time. Does it make your team better? In the interim the answer is clearly no. Your offensive line is worse today than it was yesterday. The good news is that the Texans aren’t playing a game this week. They have time to add more lineman. Obviously, Nick Caserio’s track record there is shaky, so there is plenty of room for skepticism, but when you have an empty palate, you have infinite possibilities.

BREAKING: Texans Trade Tytus Howard to Cleveland Browns

Houston was already expected to target the offensive line in free agency, but things just got a whole lot more interesting. Dianna Russini of the The Athletic just reported the the Texans are trading starting RT/LG Tytus Howard to the Cleveland Browns for a 5th-round pick:

TRADE: The Texans are trading OL Tytus Howard to the Browns, per sources. The 29-year-old has started 16 games in each of the past two seasons for Houston and was set to enter the final year of his deal in 2026.

— Dianna Russini (@diannarussini.bsky.social) 2026-03-02T12:51:06.406Z

With big extensions on the horizon for Houston, headlined by Will Anderson Jr., the Texans are getting ahead of the cap crunch.The Texans dealt Cam Robinson to the Browns in 2025, and now trade them another tackle in Tytus Howard.

— Dianna Russini (@diannarussini.bsky.social) 2026-03-02T12:56:12.234Z

This comes as another absolute stunner from Texans general manager Nick Caserio, who seems to like getting the roster shakeup started early via these trades. It was only a single year ago that Caserio made the entire league pause with his decision to trade LT Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders. That was one of his first big moves in “fixing the offensive line,” and even though trading away one of your best players at the position group may seem counterintuitive, it clearly only wet his appetite.

Sources: The #Texans and #Browns have agreed to terms on a trade to send starting RT Tytus Howard to Cleveland in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 2, 2026

This time around though, instead of Caserio obtaining a package of draft selections like he did with the Tunsil trade, Houston will actually only be receiving a 5th round pick for Tytus Howard! Talk about an underwhelming return!

Either way, now that Howard is gone, the Texans have now officially traded away their best offensive linemen in consecutive offseasons, clearing the road for cap spending elsewhere and for the offensive line to be in an even more dire state than it was during the 2025 regular season. The o-line was a controversial subject all season long as coach Cole Popovich rotated players around trying to find the best combination for a subpar group. He eventually found a decent starting five with Aireontae Ersery at LT, Howard at LG, Jake Andrews at C, Ed Ingram at RG, and Trent Brown at RT, but that combination was doomed to be short lived. In his 2025 season, Tytus Howard finished with:

• 18 Games (18 Starts, including playoffs)
• 10 Starts at RT, 5 Starts at LG, 3 Starts at RG
• 1,162 total snaps
• 0 Sacks, 1 Hit, 25 Hurries
• 62.3 PFF Grade (49.5 RBLK, 76.7 PBLK)

Tytus Howard came to Houston as a much-maligned first round pick (23rd Overall) by former head coach/general manager Bill O’Brien. A relatively unknown prospect out of Alabama State, many saw Howard as a reach by O’Brien, who made the 2019 offseason all about protecting the edges of then Texans QB Deshaun Watson. Howard would arrive in Houston first in April, and then Tunsil would arrive a couple months later after a blockbuster trade with the Miami Dolphins. Tunsil and Howard would go on to be the lone bright spots on Houston’s offensive line since then, with Tunsil being his standard exceptional self and Howard forming into an average to great pass-blocking RT. Over time, he would go on to be one of the Texans most versatile linemen, recording several stints at LG as the team contended with this enigma at that position that they just can’t shake. Howard’s natural position certainly wasn’t LG, but he was decent enough there to warrant playing him instead of anyone else.

— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) March 2, 2026

With Howard now gone, the Texans’ problematic offensive line now dives straight back into the crisis state it was suspended in last offseason. Caserio dealt with that nightmare by signing C Jake Andrews, G Ed Ingram, G Laken Tomlinson, T Trent Brown, T Cam Rombinson, and then drafting T Aireontae Ersery. The Robinson and Tomlinson signings are better left forgotten, but all of his other moves resulted in either interim starters or (in case of the Ingram and Ersery) permanent starters along the front. Caserio and his staff have obviously been emboldened by the “success” they wrought from this strategy and are trying to run it back in 2026, but I have my doubts. It took me months to reconcile with the Tunsil trade, and it would have taken longer if Ersery had not quickly filled in the LT spot as a rookie. I expect the Howard trade to be just as prickly of an issue, if not worse considering we have yet to see Ersery blossom into a star. For the second year in a row, everything now hinges on this free agency cycle and the upcoming NFL Draft, which, to me, doesn’t seem like the greatest way to run a railroad.

What do you think, though? Was this trade necessary considering the cap crunch Houston is bound to be in with all of their young stars? Or, was Tytus Howard worth keeping around? Are there tackles on the free agent market or in the draft that you wouldn’t mind seeing in Battle Red? Let us know down in the comments below!

GO TEXANS!!!
