Ricky Jean-Francois gives Packers another solid signing on defense

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Slowly but surely, the Green Bay Packers have tried to improve their defense. A week after signing cornerback Davon House, they have added another piece in veteran defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois on Thursday.

The deal was completed on the same day that the 30-year-old visited the Packers.

Terms: One year, $3 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

ESPN Top 150 ranking: Not ranked.

Grade: B. On their own, the signings of House and Jean-Francois might not move the needle much.
