From the article

Houston looked to offer Stroud ~$50M/year, keeping him well within the top 12 of QB salaries. Stroud's camp was supposedly looking between $60M-$70M. Sometimes, such a bet can pay off (see Flacco, Joe in 2012). Then again, when you gamble, there is always a chance to lose.

Stroud betting on himself with $60M-$70M demand vs. Texans' $50M offer

Stroud is gambling on himself by declining the Texans' contract offer of approximately $50M/year (keeping him in the top 12 of QB salaries) and holding out for $60M-$70M. The source notes that such a bet can pay off (citing Joe Flacco in 2012) but carries risk; no new contract was signed before the regular season began.
