Patrick Ricard News
Tuesday, March 10, 6:08 PM
The New York Giants have signed free agent fullback Patrick Ricard, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Ricard is the latest ex-Ravens player to follow head coach John Harbaugh from Baltimore to New York. The 31-year-old University of Maine product spent his first nine NFL seasons with the Ravens, and he was named a Pro Bowler in six of the last seven years. Most of his contributions came as a blocker for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in 2025, but he did hold the football from time to time with two touches and 11 total scrimmage yards. He also has a little bit of experience on the defensive line, but he hasn't registered a tackle since 2022, so it's safe to say that most of his value comes in blocking assignments on offense. We already know he fits Harbaugh's scheme nicely, and now, we'll get to see what he can do in an up-and-coming offense anchored by young quarterback Jaxson Dart and physical running back Cam Skattebo (ankle).

Jaret Patterson News
Tuesday, September 22, 1:37 PM
The Minnesota Vikings plan to sign free-agent running back Jaret Patterson to their practice squad, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Patterson, who spent last year with the Los Angeles Chargers, will provide depth for the Vikings' backfield after they placed Jordan Mason (thumb) on Injured Reserve. Veteran Aaron Jones Sr. handled the bulk of backfield work in the Week 2 win over the division-rival Chicago Bears on Sunday, but they do not want to put too much on his plate, and they also do not think that rookie Demond Claiborne is quite ready for an expanded role as an RB2. The only other option on their current 53-man roster is veteran DeeJay Dallas. The 26-year-old Patterson, a former undrafted free agent from Buffalo, had 41 rushing attempts for 159 yards and one touchdown while adding three catches for eight yards in six games (one start) for the Bolts last year. Patterson will be a long shot for any fantasy relevance this year, even with Mason currently on IR.
