Houston will immediately bring a veteran presence to the Panthers’ defense in training camp. The 34-year-old tallied 14 tackles, 9.5 sacks, one interception, and one forced fumble in 14 games with the Ravens last season. If Houston makes the roster, he will help bolster a defensive line on a Carolina DST that ranks 22nd in ECR, according to FantasyPros.

OLB Justin Houston has agreed to terms on a new, one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens.

Houston has been a solid player for the Ravens during his tenure, and they made sure to keep him around by tendering and re-signing him. Baltimore's defense is thought to be above average, and keeping the veteran around will only be good for them. Look for a healthy Ravens defense to bounce back from an injury-riddled 2021 campaign.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Baltimore Ravens have signed LB Justin Houston to a one-year contract, worth up to $4 million.

Houston reportedly had multiple offers on the table, yet turned down the more lucrative ones to play for the contending Ravens. It's a rock-solid acquisition for Baltimore, who lost former Pro Bowlers Yannick Ngakoue and Matt Judon in free agency. While Houston showed some signs of decline last season with the Colts, he is still a more than serviceable pass rusher who will provide a veteran presence for a team looking to win it all.

Tied for seventh among defensive ends with 3.5 sacks, Houston has been a steady IDP contributor this season. He reportedly told beat writers that he expects to play this weekend, so we should see him back at practice tomorrow. This remains a situation to monitor, but IDP managers can cautiously plan on having Houston in their lineups for Week 6.
