I wonder if this was always in the cards and the timing was based on Houston being a vet Reich was familiar with who wasn't excited about a full camp.

i think this is probably the way it shook out. Houston doesn't need a full camp regardless of what system he moves to, but especially if it's  a 3-4. he knows the job and would be able to pick any system up and get acclimated quickly.

plus he's the type older vet they look for...the player-coach/mentor type who can play and produce at an above average level and who will probably make a very natural transition to coach.

Haynes back must be the reason they had to do this. Haynes may be put on IR.

Made me wonder the same thing (re: severity of Haynes' injury).

Could also be a condemnation of the guys behind Haynes (YGM, Barno, and Johnson, though DJ is going to get the benefit of a season to develop).

I swear I wasn't tipped off, lol!  I posted this in the DJ Johnson thread yesterday morning.

Whether the rookie will be a bust is yet to be seen, but one thing is clear, he's not ready now.  That's why we need to sign a stop gap like Justin Houston.  Yes, he's 34, but as a rotational guy, that's completely okay.   We did the same with Jared Allen and worked out fine.

Haynes is too iffy for me.  He's stays dinged up and is undersized that results in him being unable to shed blocks.  He should thrive in this system, but HAS to stay clean.  That's where a proven vet can come in on a 1-2 year deal and give us the time to find/develop that guy opposite Burns.
