In an unexpected turn of events Sunday, it was reported that the Carolina Panthers have signed veteran pass rusher and former Raven, Justin Houston, to a one-year contract. With Baltimore in 2021 and 2022, Houston posted a combined total of 14 sacks, including a whopping 9.5 last season, while being a valuable contributor to overall defensive production and a great mentor in the locker room. For that, he was rewarded handsomely. The Panthers shelled out a contract worth up to $7 million, including $6 million in guarantees, to bring him in. That’s a far cry from the roughly $2 million Houston earned with the Ravens in ’21 and a substantial jump from the $4.
