Justin Houston signed a 1-year deal with the Carolina Panthers Sunday evening, marking his 4th different team in the NFL.
Houston is entering Year 13 in the league after being drafted in the 3rd Round of the 2011 draft by the Chiefs. He played in Kansas City for 7 seasons before making stops in Indianapolis and Baltimore.
Now, he’s heading to the NFC with the Panthers, who were in desperate need of some help in pass rush.

Houston, who is 34, started just 1 game for the Ravens last season but was still a heavy contributor, appearing in 14 games with 9.5 total sacks. He added 2 forced fumbles and 21 tackles to that total.
He has been to the Pro Bowl 4 times, though all 4 instances came in the early part of his career with the Chiefs.
