Mario Addison News
The Houston Texans plan to release veteran defensive end Mario Addison one year after signing him to a two-year, $7.7 million deal, according to a source. However, the door isn't closed on a potential return. This is simply a salary cap-related move for the Texans. The 35-year-old was due to make $3 million this year, but the Texans will instead save $2.3 million against the salary cap by cutting him. Addison has 68 career sacks with six different teams in his 12-year career, but he totaled just one sack and 15 total tackles in 12 games (one start) for Houston in his first season with the team in 2022.
The Houston Texans signed veteran free-agent defensive end Mario Addison to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to a league source. Addison played for defensive line coach Jacques Cesaire with the Buffalo Bills and also recently visited with the Seattle Seahawks. The 34-year-old spent the last two years in Buffalo, racking up 41 solo tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, 12 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 32 games (seven starts). Before that, Addison spent seven years playing for the Carolina Panthers. He's not much of an option for those in IDP fantasy formats, as he's only had one season with double-digit sacks in 11 NFL seasons with five different teams. Addison will give the Texans a nice veteran presence on the D-line.
The Buffalo Bills agreed to an undisclosed three-year deal with former Carolina Panthers defensive end Mario Addison on Monday, according to a source. Addison, 32, is moving toward the back side of his career, but he has remained productive. He recorded 9.5 sacks with 34 tackles (20 solo) and two forced fumbles in 15 games for the Panthers in his final season. Addison may not be an every-down player at this stage of his career, but he'll come in handy for a strong Bills Defense after recording at least nine sacks in each of the last four seasons. Buffalo's defense/special teams should be a top-five fantasy unit in 2020.
