Justin Houston reportedly signs 2-year, $24 million deal with Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts have reportedly won the Justin Houston sweepstakes, as Adam Schefter reports the veteran pass rusher has reached an agreement with the AFC South team.

It’s a two-year deal worth $24 million, per Schefter.

This is a huge get for Indy, which has needed pass-rushing help ever since Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis retired.

Though he’s on the tail end of his career, Houston (30) is still a very effective pass rusher. Last year in Kansas City, he tallied nine sacks, five forced fumbles, and added an interception.

Over the course of his eight-year NFL career, Houston has racked up 78.5 sacks.
