When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Baltimore Ravens this season, their defensive front will have a different flavor.
According to a source of ESPN’s Adam Schefter, former All-Pro edge rusher Justin Houston has reached an agreement with the Steelers’ rival Ravens.
Entering his 11th season in the NFL, Houston is a four-time Pro Bowler who was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2011 NFL draft. In 2014, Houston compiled the best season for a pass-rusher in Chiefs franchise history with 22 sacks.
At 32, Houston isn’t the player he once was but does provide an upgrade to the Ravens defense.
Former All-Pro edge rusher Justin Houston reached agreement on a one-year deal worth up to $4 million with the Baltimore Ravens, per sources. Houston turned down significantly more money from other teams in order to pursue a championship with the Ravens, per source.
