Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsAfter over a week since their last free-agent signing, multiple reports have said that the Indianapolis Colts have reached an agreement with pass-rusher Justin Houston — formerly of the Kansas City Chiefs. Adam Schefter of ESPN was the first to report.The deal, which Schefter says is a two-year, $24 million deal, brings in a necessary veteran presence to a position of need for the Colts. Houston, who recently turned 30 Youth Anthony Castonzo Jersey , is coming off back-to-back, nine-sack seasons with a career mark of 78.5. He was let go by the Kansas City Chiefs, after spending eight seasons in the AFC West.Houston’s presence in rushing the passer will create a pivotal boost for a team that ranked 19th in the nation in total sacks last season (38). The expectation should be that Houston slides into the defensive end position in the Colts’ 4-3 scheme, primarily in passing situations.The former Georgia product will join in as the oldest defensive end on the Colts roster, and is the second player on the defensive line past the age of 30 — Margus Hunt, 32. A good locker room presence, Houston will also play a key role in mentoring the young talents on the Colts’ defensive line. Tyquan Lewis and Kemoko Turay will enter their second seasons in 2019 Anthony Castonzo Jersey Stitched , with nine defensive lineman at 26 years of age or younger.Financially, Houston will become the third highest-paid player on the team (according to Spotrac) behind quarterback Andrew Luck and wide receiver TY Hilton. While the Colts have brought back several of their own the last two weeks, Houston joins wide receiver Devin Funchess as the two newcomers to the program. A few coaching changes have taken place already this offseason for the Colts, and more are on the way. Tight ends coach Tom Manning will be leaving to return to Iowa State according to Zak Keefer of the Indy Star.Enough cannot be said about the job Manning did working with a tight end room that was missing their best player, Jack Doyle, for much of the season. He helped resurrect the career of notable draft bust Eric Ebron, was a key part of the development of guys like Mo Alie-Cox and Ryan Hewitt Youth Justin Houston Jersey , and was a well-liked and respected member of the coaching staff. This comes on the heels of the firing of offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo and the loss of assistant offensive line coach Bobby Johnson to the Buffalo Bills. While Frank Reich took a very active role in the blocking and protection meetings for the offensive line, losing these three guys is not a small thing. All three coaches contributed to the stellar season had by the offensive line, and that now makes two internal candidates who had been rumored as possible replacements for DeGuglielmo who are no longer with the team. Given how well they played at both the tight end and offensive line positions, it will be critical to find coaches who can step into those roles and continue the development and execution of both groups. The good news is that given the level of talent in both those rooms, they should not want for solid options interested in taking over.
