Not long after adding running back Matt Breida, the New York Giants inked another free agent. The team announced on Monday that it has signed edge rusher Jihad Ward.
Ward was a second-round pick by the Raiders in 2016 but has bounced around the NFL in recent years. He spent two years with the Raiders, playing 21 games, but since then, he’s made stops with the Colts, Ravens and Jaguars.
Last season in Jacksonville, Ward played all 17 games and recorded a career-high 32 tackles. He also had two sacks and seven QB hits, with three of his tackles coming for a loss.
