In return 4 sending LB DeMeco Ryans to Eagles,Texans swap third-round picks in Draft. Houston gets 77th overall & the Eagles 4th-round pick

Mark Berman ‏ @MarkBermanFox26
The Texans will actually receive multiple undisclosed draft picks in return for trading LB DeMeco Ryans to the Eagles. He must pass physical

Anyone want a jersey?

Great trade for eagles, this really addressed they're more glaring need on defense & gives them a leader on defense as well.

eagles get another pass rusher

Ryans has never been a pass rusher.

Hope Meco can bounce back to form. He was really hindered by the achilles injury and then the elbow. 3-4 wasn't his system, and Cushing was by far the better choice on passing downs. You can't pay $6 mil to a 2-down LB.

This one hurts, I understand it but don't like it.

Yeah...this was something that had to happen. Between system fit/injury problems and his contract they just could not justify keeping him...especially when they get as good/better production out of Sharpton for a fraction of the cost. Moving up in the 3rd and an extra 4th should yield a couple of solid prospects.

Thanks for everything Cap. We salute you.

Is Juan Castillo still their DC?

Then it doesn't matter who they sign.

their defense actually improved later in the year. better personel and a training camp should help them.

Told you guys, Eagles are returning to the playoffs

Look at the teams they played while their defense was "improving." The Giants win in NY (Week 11) was the only impressive one. They got crushed by the Pats and Seahawks after that, then beat the Dolphins, Jets, Cowboys (w/o Romo for practically the whole game), and Redskins.

Holy shit, you're gonna pick the team STACKED with talent (who massively underachieved last year) to make the playoffs?!:wow:wow:wow

[Spurtacus]

4th round pick is a steal

[Huey Freeman]

Realtalk: fuck you Texans for making that trade

Please explain this to me, I don't at all.

DeMeco played 2 downs. He was not worth the price. This moves saves us 9 mil next year where we need to re-sign D Brown, Barwin, Schaub, Quin, and Caldwell & Butler (who are now both starters). We'll probably also look to lock Cushing up before he hits the market the next year.

:lol Eagles keep adding players to try to match up with the defending champs. I hope they sign Plaxico's washed up ass.

It's amazing how much someone can fail in one sentence.
