James Houston won’t have to move too far for his next NFL gig. A day after being released by the Detroit Lions, the third-year EDGE was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns.
Houston joins the Browns and is immediately on their 53-man active roster. He will help fill the hole in Cleveland that opened when the Lions traded for EDGE Za’Darius Smith.
The Browns were No. 8 in the NFL’s waiver claim order, meaning that they were the first team to place a claim on Houston after the first seven all passed. The Lions own the No. 32 and final waiver claim entering Week 13.
