The Lions are currently hosting running back Reggie Bush -- and reportedly have offered him the starting job -- but their biggest need still remains cornerback. They took a step toward filling that need Wednesday, when they agreed to terms with Chris Houston.

Houston, a 28-year-old cornerback out of Arkansas, said he's thrilled to "have a home" to wrap up his career.

“I’m excited that it’s all over. I’ve been through FA before and it was crazy that time and it was crazy this time also," Houston told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free-Press. "I’m just happy that I have a home, a place to go and finish out my career."

Houston came to Detroit from Atlanta three years ago and helped provide the Lions with a playmaker in their defensive backfield, accumulating eight interceptions in his three seasons with Detroit.

Bringing Houston back doesn't solve all the secondary woes for Detroit and it's still possible Dee Milliner's in play with the No. 5 selection in the 2013 NFL Draft (check our new updated mock draft page here!) if he's available.

But it does put a major check mark on the Lions needs this offseason.
