Justin Houston and the Baltimore Ravens reached an agreement on a one-year deal for the four-time Pro-Bowl outside linebacker to return to the team, it was announced Thursday.
The Ravens tendered Houston after the draft -- much like the Kansas City Chiefs did with Melvin Ingram -- to try to ensure his return to Baltimore.
In his first season with the Ravens, Houston led the team with 17 quarterback hits but was credited with only 4.5 sacks, his fewest ever for a full season and the second consecutive season in which his sack production has decreased.
