Colts sign LB Justin Houston to two-year deal

The Colts got their pass rusher. Linebacker Justin Houston has agreed to a two-year deal worth $24 million with the team. Houston got released from the Chiefs after opting to keep Dee Ford instead. Now the Colts have the pass rusher they desperately need.

Houston is a bona fide pass rusher in this league. In 2014, he led the league with an insane 22 sacks. He was only .5 sacks off of Michael Strahan‘s single season record. He has cooled off since then, but still recorded 9 sacks last year in Kansas City.
