Ryan would add instant credibility to a secondary that is desperate need of veteran leadership. Ryan, 29, is still in the prime of his career and is coming off a monster 2019 season with the Titans that saw him defend 18 passes, record 4-1/2 sacks, pick off four passes and collect 113 tackles.
Ryan, a local kid from Berlin, New Jersey, who attended and played at Rutgers, is a versatile player who can move both into the slot and outside, making him a tricky player for offenses to prepare for. Remember he is also the guy that recorded a pick-6 on Tom Brady's final pass as New England Patriot in the Wild Card playoffs last season.
This is a huge signing, if it gets done, for GM Joe Douglas who didn't do a lot to address the secondary this offseason, aside from signing and drafting a number of young players. This is the first real impact move for the defense Douglas has made this year.
