Ward’s Back

March

Running back Derrick Ward took a look around the open market and obviously decided the Giants were the only ones he was going to get a decent offer from. He just re-upped with them for a year at $1.1 million, with another $1 million of incentives.

Ward, often injured during his career, was looking for a place he could start and be paid like a starter. But he has never played 16 games in a season, and this year wound up on IR the last four games with a broken fibula after sitting inactive with an ankle sprain in four of the five games before that.

Ward has looked quite good in healthy times, however, and his re-signing will enable the backfield to maintain the same depth behind starter Brandon Jacobs as it had last season.

More details as they come in.

Ciao for now.
