Texans Signing DE Mario Addison To Two-Year Contract

The Houston Texans are signing DE Mario Addison, according to Mark Berman.

Aaron Wilson reports that the deal is worth two years.

Texans GM Nick Caserio mentioned following the draft that the team would be bringing in free-agents following the draft that could help bolster spots on the roster they weren’t able to address.

Addison, 34, originally signed on with the Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Troy back in 2011. He lasted just a few months in Chicago before he was waived and later claimed off of waivers by the Colts.

After a brief stint with Washington in 2012, the Panthers signed him to their practice squad and later gave him a two-year extension in 2014. He played out the final year of his three-year, $22.5 million contract and signed a three-year, $30.45 million deal with the Bills.

Addison recently finished out his deal with the Bills and was set to earn base salaries of $6.625 million over the final two years of his contract before later agreeing to a pay cut.

In 2021, Addison appeared in 15 games and recorded 29 total tackles, seven sacks, and two forced fumbles.
