The new union between the Carolina Panthers and outside linebacker Justin Houston has been all about the numbers.
A productive 34-year-old four-time Pro Bowler was signed to a chunky one-year, $7 million deal (with $6 million in guarantees) to help a defense with one proven pass rusher and just 35 sacks—the seventh-fewest—in 2022. Oh, and Houston even worked over fellow backer Chandler Wooten to get his No. 50 uniform.
