The Falcons have traded 25-year old cornerback Chris Houston to the Lions for a 6th round pick in 2010 and a conditional 7th round pick in 2011.  Houston played in 12 games for the Falcons last season and he made 47 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, he defensed 9 passes and had 1 interception.  Houston played in 44 games in his three years with the Falcons and he made 166 tackles, defensed 34 passes, forced 1 fumble and he had 3 interceptions (one he returned for a TD).  The Falcons must have really wanted to dump Houston because they didn’t get much for him.
