Eagles release linebacker DeMeco Ryans

Linebacker DeMeco Ryans was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday.

His release will save the Eagles $3.5 million on the salary cap and his $2.5 million base salary would have been fully guaranteed had he been on the roster March the 11th.

Ryans spent four of his 10 National Football League seasons playing inside linebacker for the Eagles.

He finishes his time with the Eagles with five sacks and five interceptions to go along with 334 tackles.

New defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will try to fit linebackers Mychal Kendricks, Kiko Alonso and Jordan Hicks into his scheme.

Ryans was never the same player after the injury, which allowed Hicks to emerge as the clear starter heading into next season.

There are certainly teams that could use him in 2016 to provide leadership and possibly start at inside linebacker.
