The 34-year-old pass rusher has been in the league since the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him in the third round of the 2011 draft. His last Pro Bowl season was in 2015. He most recently played for the Baltimore Ravens for the 2021-22 seasons.
Houston holds the record for the most career safeties with four. Houston recorded 9.5 sacks for the Ravens last season. According to Pro Football Focus, Houston earned a 73.6 overall grade for his play last season. Given that Houston is not considered a true defensive end for a 4-3 system, he would be an interesting signing by general manager Ryan Poles for Matt Eberflus’ defensive scheme.
