The former longtime Chiefs linebacker lands in Indianapolis."

After eight seasons with the team Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker (and now defensive end, as you’ll read below) Justin Houston is headed to the Indianapolis Colts, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Chiefs released Houston back on March 10 after general manager Brett Veach admitted to ongoing dialogue on the linebacker at the NFL’s Scouting Combine.“There was dialogue and I mentioned that at the combine,” Veach said on March 14. “I’m sure Justin will be signed here soon and he’ll do well for himself. He’s certainly a guy that can be added to a number of teams and make an impact.”It only took another week.Houston, 30, signed a two-year deal worth $24 million with the Colts. Schefter reported that Colts general manager Chris Ballard inquired about Dee Ford but instead chose to hold onto his draft picks and wait for Houston. The Chiefs traded Ford to the San Francisco 49ers instead.Ballard, if you recall, served the Chiefs under then-GM John Dorsey as their director of player personnel from 2013-14 and director of football operations from 2015-16. That stint came after 11 years an area scout for the Chicago Bears. Ballard thus knows Houston well.The Colts’ plan to use Houston as a defensive end, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.“I have plenty left in the tank,” Houston told the Andrew Walker of the Colts’ official website. “I think some people don’t believe that Juan Thornhill black jersey , but I feel like I’ve got plenty to show the world.”The Chiefs will host Houston at Arrowhead Stadium when they play the Colts during the 2019 season. That date is still to be announced.Two Chiefs named among NFL’s 50 most fascinating people ESPN’s Bill Barnwell released his take on the NFL’s 50 most fascinating people Wednesday morning, and two Kansas City Chiefs made the list.Barnwell noted that the list is made up of individuals who are “not necessarily the most skilled or important players, coaches or executives,” but rather those who he believes will drive the NFL conversation throughout the 2018 season. Barnwell broke up the list into seven groups (Now-or-Nevers, Rookies (or Almost Rookies), Familiar Faces in New Places, Rehabilitation Stories, Breakout Stars, One More Ride, Wild Cards and Ghosts).Let’s get to the Chiefs:No. 16 - QB Patrick Mahomes (from the Rookies or Almost Rookies group)Did someone say fascinating?Jason Getz-USA TODAY SportsWhen you clicked on this post Juan Thornhill Jersey Mens , you had to know that Patrick Mahomes would be one of the two Chiefs on the list. The Chiefs ushered in the Mahomes Era when they traded Alex Smith this offseason, and the hype continued with Brett Favre comparisons, and, much more recently, The Throw this offseason and preseason.I think Barnwell’s points about Smith hold some weight and sometimes get a bit lost in the hype surrounding Mahomes in Kansas City.Average quarterbacks are hard to find, and Smith wasn’t just average in 2017—he was tremendous. But when you trade up 18 spots to go get somebody, it is pretty clear what that means for the future.It’s Mahomes’ turn in 2018, and he has huge shoes to fill. And thanks to The Throw, he’s already caught national attention.No. 46 - WR Sammy Watkins (from the Wild Cards Who Could Decide the Season group)Watkins stunk this preseason.Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsAh, the second Chief.Barnwell went with Sammy Watkins Bashaud Breeland Jersey , who has turned out to be a bit polarizing among the fan base this preseason. Watkins was a surprise signing by the Chiefs this offseason, and he certainly did not have the preseason Chiefs fans would have liked to see.Watkins finished the preseason with just one catch for 14 yards on seven targets.The Chiefs opted to sign Watkins on a three-year deal worth $48 million with $30 million in guaranteed money. The problem wasn’t so much in bringing Watkins aboard; it was doing so with such a small amount of cap room. If (and yes, still very much, if) the Chiefs offense is fantastic with Mahomes this season, but the secondary prevents them from making the postseason, it will be this move that may prove the most costly, especially given that a few of the Chiefs’ cuts at the wide receiver position should end up on other clubs.
