That's reasonable for the market.
Will be very interesting to compare the production to Clay Mathews. I guess with the Fowler contract signing Houston was just too much money for the Rams. I guess you can compare Fowler to Houston as well. They are getting about the same money this year but, have to see the contract details.
Colts resigning their own free agents and now make a big splash. They should still have more a lot of cap space left.
I called them a dark horse at the beginning of the season and I was spot on about them. They remind me a lot of what the Rams did a couple of years ago. They are gonna win their division next year mark my words.

Aaron Donald starting to seem like a bargain. Especially if his dominant play continues for a few more years.
Removed. I'm guessing it was an accident as there really is zero in the post to earn an inappropriate.

Four-time Pro Bowler Justin Houston reportedly agrees to terms on two-year deal with Colts
The Indianapolis Colts have finally decided to make a splash in free agency.
According to ESPN.com, the Colts have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with Justin Houston. The deal with the former Chiefs linebacker is worth a total of $24 million. Although Houston had a decent season in 2018, the Chiefs decided to release him in a cost-cutting move that saved them nearly $15 million in salary cap space.
The Colts were a logical landing spot for Houston, and that's because they have plenty of salary cap space. As a matter of fact, the Colts actually went into free agency with the most salary cap room in the NFL. However, instead of handing out big contracts, the Colts spent the first week of free agency re-signing key players like Pierre Desir, Mark Glowinski and Margus Hunt. The Colts also re-signed kicker Adam Vinatieri and safety Clayton Geathers.
Before Thursday, the only other big contract the Colts gave to an outside player went to Devin Funchess, who signed a one-year deal with Indy that's worth $10 million in guaranteed money.
As for Houston, the 30-year-old could end up being a steal at just $12 million per year. Despite his age, Houston doesn't seem to be slowing down. During the 2018 season, Houston racked up nine sacks, which ranked third on the team. Over the past five seasons, Houston has a tallied a total of 52 sacks, which ranks seventh in the NFL over that span (Von Miller has the most with 63).
The move to Indy will likely mean a slight position change for the four-time Pro Bowler. With the Colts running a 4-3 defense, Houston will line up at defensive end instead of outside linebacker, according to NFL.com. The Colts' suddenly stout defense also includes 2018 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Darius Leonard.

That's typically a mistake. Edge guys who move into the 4-3 end role later in their careers don't tend to work out well.
OLBs need to stay OLBs. It's too easy for those guys getting on 30+ to wear down being hand in the dirt every down.
This guy has made a pretty good career for himself. Glad to see it.

With the reported demands of Lawrence this isn’t a shock.

How was he as a LB? I was kind of interested in him and he went on a decent price. was he a declining player?
