The first defensive player to leave the 49ers to join former defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans with the Texans is defensive lineman Hassan Ridgeway. Houston and Ridgeway on Monday agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $4 million with $3 million guaranteed per Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston.
Ridgeway played well for the 49ers last season before suffering a season-ending chest injury in the team’s Week 13 win over the Dolphins. He posted 1.0 sacks and a career-high 28 tackles in 12 games before his injury.
