Barden will sign with the Jaguars, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports. With Justin Blackmon and Ace Sanders unavailable to the team and Cecil Shorts, Allen Robinson, Tandon Doss and Mike Brown all banged up, the Jags have added both Barden and Chad Hall to bolster their depth at wideout.

Bills released WR Ramses Barden and LB Nathan Williams. Always given chances due to his 6-foot-6 frame, Barden is now nearing the end of the line. He has a total of 29 catches and one start on his resume since the Giants took him in the third round of the 2009 draft, and has now lost his camp roster spot to Naaman Roosevelt.

WGR 550 Buffalo considers WR Ramses Barden a "long shot" to make the Bills' 53-man roster. Beat writer Joe Buscaglia calls Barden's performance at OTAs unimpressive. "There is no deception to his game, he lacks the sort of game speed receivers have to have and is limited really to jump ball scenarios for his effectiveness," writes Buscaglia. Barden, at 6-foot-6 and 224 pounds, should be standing out in non-contact practices in gym shorts. Barden may be running out of chances.

Bills signed WR Ramses Barden, LB Willie Jefferson, FS Jajuan Harley, WR Chris Summers and LB Nathan Williams to reserve/futures contracts. A former third-round pick of the Giants, Barden missed the entire 2013 season after being released in September with an injury settlement. He'll compete for a roster spot with the Bills as a red-zone specialist. Jefferson appeared in six games with the Texans as an undrafted free agent.

Free agent WR Ramses Barden worked out for the Seahawks. Seattle also hosted WRs Mike Thomas and Danny Coale, along with QB B.J. Coleman. Sidney Rice (torn ACL) recently went on injured reserve, but the Seahawks are expected to get Percy Harvin (hip) back shortly. The team is likely just updating its emergency list. Barden had previously worked out for Houston, as well.

Free agent WR Ramses Barden worked out for the Texans on Tuesday. The Texans also worked out free agent WR Mike Brown. It's the first we've heard of the 6-foot-6 Barden since he was released by the Giants last month. A signing does not appear imminent. Barden's unique size should eventually earn him another NFL chance.

Giants released WR Ramses Barden with an injury settlement. The 6-foot-6 former third-round pick's Giants career ends with 29 catches across 29 games. Nine of those catches came last Week 3. Barden's height could him earn some looks on the open market, but his career is on the downslope.

Giants placed WR Ramses Barden on injured reserve, ending his season. It was originally reported that Barden had been among the Giants' final cuts. Instead, he'll spend the year on the sidelines or receive an injury settlement at some point. Either way, he's not going to play for the Giants in 2013.

Giants released WR Ramses Barden. The 85th pick in the 2009 draft, Barden ran like there were cement blocks attached his his feet, which hurt his NFL prospects. He could still generate some free-agent interest from teams interested in red-zone specialists.

Giants WR Ramses Barden's one-year contract gave the team a "minimum salary benefit" because it's worth just $780,000. Barden received a base salary of $715,000 with a $65,000 signing bonus. Because of the minimum salary and a signing bonus worth equal to or less than $65K, the Giants can carry Barden at just $620,000 in salary cap cost, per NFL rules. It's a reminder that Barden is not highly regarded around the league. He lasted over two months on the open market before re-signing on the cheap.
