SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The Carolina Panthers finally landed a veteran edge rusher to play opposite Brian Burns in Justin Houston, even though the 33-year-old may not be an every-down player at this point in his career.
Houston and the Panthers have agreed to a one-year deal, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The team announced the signing on Sunday but did not disclose terms.
Coach Frank Reich and general manager Scott Fitterer have been saying for weeks they would continue looking for a veteran to play outside linebacker in their new 3-4 scheme.
