Eagles cut veteran linebacker DeMeco Ryans, save $3.5 million
The Philadelphia Eagles released linebacker DeMeco Ryans.
Ryans is a respected veteran and two-time Pro Bowler, but injuries have limited him the last two seasons. With the Eagles switching to a 4-3 scheme under new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, there is not a starting spot for Ryans, and his $4.5 million cap hit is a big number for a backup.
After playing just eight games in 2014, Ryans was able to play in 14 games this past season. He totaled 49 tackles, one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and five passes defended.
