WELL, IT'S OFFICIAL....(ALMOST...)
The Panthers have decided that the position at OLB across from Brian Burns wasn't (necessarily) on the roster. So, they went out and scored another one to add to the mix of veterans at the position. The new talent is OLB Justin Houston. Houston comes out of free agency from Baltimore where he scored 9.5 sacks last year. In 12 years in the league, Houston has 111.5 sacks. That averages out to just a little more than 9 per season. Houston was drafted by the Chiefs in the 3rd round in 2011. He is 34 years old.....so he probably won't be signing any more long term contracts, but even a one-year deal helps the Panthers and allows for some of the younger talent to mature some more.
No word on the contract numbers yet. The official position at the moment is Houston and the Panthers have "agreed to terms". That almost always means the contract has not been signed and will be "conditional" on one or more points, one of which is sure to be 'passing a physical'.
