Giants Sign Fullback Patrick Ricard

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).

Jaydon Blue News

Jaydon Blue Could be Desperation Flex Play

Saturday, October 31, 5:40 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jaydon Blue was recently signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad. Given all the injuries in the backfield, Blue is expected to play a depth role behind lead back Saquon Barkley this weekend. Blue hasn't played this season, but he has a good chance of getting in his first game action during the Week 8 matchup against the Washington Commanders. He'll likely need to battle with Elijah Mitchell for carries behind Barkley. It's unclear how much of the field Blue is actually going to see this weekend. He'll draw a decent matchup against a Commanders defense that ranks 14th in the league against the run. Blue is a deep league stash option because he could be the next man up if Barkley ever goes down. However, he's nothing more than a desperation deep league play for Week 8.
