DeMeco Ryans new deal

[scpanther22]

I guess this is the ballpark for Beason

Texans re-signed MLB DeMeco Ryans to a six-year, $48 million contract. The deal was first reported by beat writer John McClain, though ESPN's Adam Schefter had the particulars.

The contract contains a whopping $21.75M guaranteed and $26.3M in the first three years, including a $7.5M signing bonus and $7M base salary in 2010. A two-time Pro Bowler and captain of the Texans' improving defense, Ryans rivals Jon Beason as the second-best young inside linebacker in the game behind Patrick Willis. The 25-year-old did well to match Karlos Dansby's guaranteed money with the Dolphins. Ryans, Brian Cushing, and unsung SLB Zac Diles will form one of the top 4-3 linebacker units for years to come

Add a few mill and Beason has his deal.

I hope we at least get it done soon.

Beason is locked up through 2012. He won't be extended until next offseason and that is pending the lockout. Ryans, by virtue of being a 2nd round pick, had a shorter contract than Beason.

I thought the second best linebacker was Fujita...
