Eagles acquire LB Ryans from Texans Mar 21st 2012, 00:44 Philadelphia, PA –  The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired round draft pick. The teams will also swap third-round draft picks in this year's draft. Ryans, a two-time Pro Bowler, recorded 64 tackles through 16 games for the Texans last season after seeing his playing time diminish under new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme. A former second-round draft choice by Houston in 2006, Ryans recorded over 100 tackles and did not miss a game in each of his first four seasons with the Texans before missing 10 contests in the 2010 campaign after tearing the Achilles tendon in his left heel. "DeMeco Ryans contributed significantly toward helping us build the foundation we hope will bring a world championship to the city of Houston. His professionalism and leadership cannot be over-exaggerated," Texans general manager and executive vice president Rick Smith said. "This move was mutually beneficial for the Texans immediate and long-term goals, DeMeco's career, and the Philadelphia Eagles. We appreciate all the hard work and effort DeMeco invested in our organization and wish him only the best moving forward." Through 86 career games, the 27-year-old Alabama product has 636 tackles, 8 1/2 sacks and two interceptions.
