Colts Rumors: Ex-Chiefs LB Justin Houston Agrees to 2-Year, $24M Contract

The Indianapolis Colts reportedly have added pass-rusher Justin Houston after the two sides agreed to a deal on Thursday.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Houston kids authentic nfl jerseys will receive $24 million over two years from the Colts.

Houston had spent the first eight years of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was released before the start of free agency in a money-saving move. According to Kevin Patra of NFL.com, the team freed up $14 million in cap space for 2019 with the transaction.

The team had initially tried to trade him but couldn’t find a taker for his high salary, per Schefter.

Still, there was plenty of interest on the open market  kid nfl jerseys with at least six teams engaging with him once he hit free agency, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.

While age shouldn’t be too much of a concern as he cheap nike nfl kids jerseys has remained an impact player, his injury history has been a problem.

Houston missed four games last year due to a hamstring problem and hasn’t played a full 16-game season since he was an All-Pro in 2014. He has missed 21 total games over the last four years.

As good as the linebacker can be when healthy, he doesn’t help anyone when he is on the sidelines.

Still, the Indianapolis saw enough value to complete the deal.cheap nfl kids jerseys

Houston had spent his entire career to this point with the same franchise while mostly playing under the same defensive coordinator (Bob Sutton), but he will know how to make an adjustment in a new city.cheap nfl jerseys kids

If he can stay healthy, though, he should be a difference-maker for the defense in 2019 and possibly beyond.kids jerseys nfl

Houston is an interesting fit for the Colts, who primarily run a 4-3 scheme. He’s played inside linebacker at points in his career, but his best success has come as an edge-rusher.

Given Houston’s age and injury history, though, the Colts can find a way to work him into games exclusively in pass-rushing situations that will maximize his value. kids nfl football jerseys
