I won't deny that in my heart I'm a little excited by this signing, but my brain is telling me not to get TOO excited about signing an oft-injured 30-year old pass rusher who was just jettisoned by his team. Not a typical Ballard-type signing, at least based on his short time in Indy, though he undoubtedly has insight into Houston from his time in KC so that provides some additional comfort. I'll be interested to see the contract details.

Incidentally, here's a 2015 article someone on Stampede Blue posted regarding the surprising effectiveness of pass rushers in their early 30's, though the then-30 year old subject of the article (Mario Williams) didn't exactly live up to the premise of the article:
