Packers add free agent defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have signed free agent tackle Ricky Jean-Francois, adding depth to a defensive front depleted in the offseason.

General manager Ted Thompson did not disclose terms of the deal announced on Friday.

The 6-foot-3, 295-pound Jean-Francois spent the last two seasons with the Washington Redskins. A seventh-round draft pick by San Francisco in 2009, Jean-Francois' most productive season came with Indianapolis in 2014, when he had three sacks and started 13 of 16 games.

Datone Jones left the Packers as a free agent for Minnesota. Veteran edge rusher Julius Peppers departed and returned to Carolina.
