Josh Allen News
Wednesday, March 11, 6:58 AM
The Buffalo Bills have restructured quarterback Josh Allen's contract to create $12 million in 2026 cap space, per ESPN's Field Yates. It's not entirely clear what Buffalo is looking to do with the cap flexibility, but the team now has a little more wiggle room as it looks to build out a Super Bowl-caliber roster. Buffalo has a few notable pieces of their 2025 roster, such as edge rusher Joey Bosa and linebacker Matt Milano, who are currently lingering in free agency. The team could simply be looking to bring players back into the fold, or could be angling for a sizable addition. As far as Allen is concerned, the 29-year-old signal caller remains under contract with Buffalo through the end of the current decade. His long-term contract structure with the Bills affords the team the flexibility to make these types of moves.

C.J. Stroud News
Tuesday, February 24, 7:36 AM
Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio said that any talk about trading quarterback C.J. Stroud is "moronic," according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Caserio said that Stroud will be the team's starting QB in 2026. Stroud was a Pro Bowler in his rookie campaign in 2023, but he has regressed each of the last two seasons. The 24-year-old former second overall pick in 2023 out of Ohio State completed 64.5% of his passes for 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 regular-season games in 2025 to finish as the QB21 in overall fantasy points. He was much worse in two playoff games, going 41-for-79 passing for 462 yards, two touchdowns, and five interceptions. He also lost two fumbles. The one positive takeaway from 2025 is that Stroud had a career-high completion percentage. He's still young enough to bounce back, but fantasy managers shouldn't feel comfortable rolling with him as their QB1 in 2026.
