The Baltimore Ravens signed pass rusher Justin Houston prior to the start of the 2021 season. He brought much-needed production as well as leadership to the team, and was a looked up to figure in the Baltimore locker room for young players looking to make a name for themselves.
Houston signed a pair of one-year contracts with the Ravens in 2021 and 2022, so there was hope that he could sign another similar deal with Baltimore in 2023. However, Houston ended up choosing a different NFL team to play for on Sunday, with Adam Schefter of ESPN and others reporting and confirming that the veteran has signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers.
Four-time Pro-Bowl LB Justin Houston reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, per source.
