Colts Rumors: Ex-Chiefs LB Justin Houston Agrees to 2-Year, $24M Contract

The Indianapolis Colts have added pass-rusher Justin Houston after the two sides agreed to a deal on Thursday.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Houston will receive $24 million over two years from the Colts.

Houston had spent the first eight years of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was released before the start of free agency in a money-saving move. According to Kevin Patra of NFL.com, the team freed up $14 million in cap space for 2019 with the transaction.

The team had initially tried to trade him but couldn't find a taker for his high salary, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
