The Facts: Ryan, last with the Kansas City Chiefs, has signed with the Redskins, the team announced Thursday.

Diehards Line:Used primarily as a blocking TEthroughout his six-year career, Ryan last season had personal-best totals with 14 receptions for 135 yards and two touchdowns. He has 26 catches for 240 yards and two touchdowns in his career. Unrestricted free agent Todd Yoder has filled the blocking role for Redskins the past four seasons. Pro Bowler Chris Cooley and rising third-year player Fred Davis are expected to form one of the league's top pass-catching tandems in the 2010 season.
