ENGLEWOOD — In their first roster move since firing general manager Ted Sundquist, the Broncos worked a sign-and-trade deal with the Houston Texans today for center/guard Chris Myers.

Myers, a restricted free agent, worked out a four-year, $11 million deal that includes $3 million in guaranteed money with the Broncos and then Myers and the new deal were traded to the Texans for a sixth-round pick in next month's draft.

The Broncos could have matched any offer to Myers, who just finished his third season with the team since being sixth-round pick in the 2005 draft. Myers could play both center and guard.

He started five games at guard this past season and 11 at center for the injured Tom Nalen.
