DeMeco Ryans To Eagles

DeMeco Ryans - LB - Eagles

Eagles acquired MLB DeMeco Ryans from the Texans in exchange for an undisclosed mid-round draft pick.
A Pro Bowl middle linebacker early in his career, Ryans wasn't was as well-suited to the weak-side interior in Wade Phillips 3-4 scheme. After a slow start in returning from Achilles surgery, Ryans came on stronger late in the season. He fills a major need in Philadelphia, where Andy Reid's squad has long been in need of a three-down tackling machine in the middle. Jamar Chaney (neck surgery) will move back outside. Considering Ryans $5.9 million salary, the Texans' haul of a mid-round pick was as much as could reasonably be expected.
 
I have to feel we beat them on Tulloch and this was their backup plan.
