Despite playing the majority of his football career as a cornerback, free agent veteran Logan Ryan doesn’t relate to that position anymore. Instead, Ryan views himself as a safety heading into the 2020 NFL season.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Ryan’s representatives from Schwartz & Feinsod sent an e-mail to all 32 general managers in the NFL in which they compared the 29-year-old player with the rest of the top safeties in the league.
Ryan has been a free agent market since May when he announced he’ll be leaving Tennesse Titans after three years with the franchise. The 29-year-old safety didn’t find the interest he was hoping for, however, so the position change is probably an attempt to entice the teams with promises of versatility.
This might prove to be a smart move since the versatile players on defense are sought-after in the league these days. Still, this might not be enough to convince an organization to give Logan Ryan a rich contract he’s asking. Reportedly, Ryan has been demanding a deal with $10 million yearly salary.
Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, and Philadelphia Eagles were lately mentioned as teams interested in Ryan. New York Jets even had internal discussions about bringing him in, but haven’t made a concrete move so far.
Ryan, who previously also played with New England Patriots, has 109 NFL career games with 494 tackles, 11.0 sacks, 78 pass deflections, 17 interceptions, and one touchdown.
