The Jacksonville Jaguars are adding much-needed depth at wide receiver.
The team signed former New York Giants wideout Ramses Barden, the team announced Wednesday.
Although Barden offers intriguing size at 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, he moves more like a tight end than a wide receiver and struggles to get open.
With Justin Blackmon and Ace Sanders starting the season under suspension and Cecil Shorts and Allen Robinson nursing hamstring injuries, the Jaguars simply need bodies at wide receiver. Barden will get a chance to open a few eyes during preseason action.
