Former Georgia standout Justin Houston has a new NFL home.
On Thursday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the former Chiefs standout signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts. Schefter later reported that the Cols are giving Houston a two-year, $24 million contract.
Houston was released by the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this off-season, as teams began manipulating their rosters for the 2019 season. The former UGA pass rusher has been to four Pro Bowls, and he still has some left in the tank.
He has appeared in 27 games the past two years and recording 18.5 sacks. For his eight-year career, Houston has recorded 78.5 sacks.
The Chiefs originally drafted Houston in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and boy, he’s lived up to that and much more.
