The Texans have signed OLB Chaun Thompson to a 2-year, $2.4 million dollar contract.  Thompson played in 16 games for the Browns last season and he made 21 tackles, had 1 sack and defensed 1 pass.  He has now played in 80 games in his NFL career and he has made 212 tackles, has 10.5 sacks, defensed 7 passes and forced 2 fumbles.  Thompson will battle Kevin Bentley for a starting job at outside linebacker.  He also will likely play on special teams where he was productive for the Browns in the last few seasons.
