Texans Sign DE Mario Addison, Strengthening Defensive Line

The Houston Texans are continuing to mold the defense during the offseason.

Just a little less than an hour after the announcement of the Lonnie Johnson trade to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Texans have replaced him on the roster with veteran defensive end Mario Addison, per FOX 26’s Mark Berman.

Addison, who turns 35 this September, has enjoyed an incredible 11-year career after going undrafted out of Troy.

He signed with the Chicago Bears in 2011, when current Texans head coach Lovie Smith was in the same position in the Windy City.
