Giants re-signed WR Ramses Barden.
Barden found no suitors on the open market, so he comes crawling back to the team he expected to move on from. The 2009 third-round pick went off for nine catches and 138 yards in a Week 3 Thursday night game at Carolina last year, but has still totaled just 29 catches for 394 yards and no touchdowns in the NFL. Barden won't push the exciting Rueben Randle for No. 3 wideout duties. May 23 - 12:15 PM

The Giants will bring in free agent WR Ramses Barden for a physical on Thursday.

If all checks out well, Barden could sign a one-year deal. The 27-year-old former third-round pick said in February that it was "probably best to move on" from the Giants, but he hasn't generated any interest on the open market. He'll probably be back at the minimum salary and as the No. 5 receiver.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

USA Today's Mike Garafolo reports the Jets have "had conversations" with free agent WR Ramses Barden.

The 6-foot-6 wideout's market has been nonexistent, but could pick up now that the draft has come and gone. Little more than a big target, the former third-round pick caught just 20 passes in four seasons with the Giants.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

The New York Daily News reports the Giants are "still an option" for free agent WR Ramses Barden.

Barden, 27, just last month said it would probably be best if the two sides parted ways, but the receiver drew zero interest in the opening week of free agency. If he were to re-sign, Barden wouldn't be any higher than the No. 4 or 5 receiver in New York.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

The Charlotte Observer expects the Panthers to explore free agent WRs Ramses Barden and Domenik Hixon.

Connecting these dots is easy. New GM Dave Gettleman came over from the Giants and knows Hixon and Barden quite well. Beat writer Joe Person suspects Barden "could thrive" in Carolina's vertical passing game. Last season, Barden had the best game of his career in Week 3 in Carolina, catching nine passes for 138 yards -- albeit against oft-burned Panthers rookie CB Josh Norman.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

Free agent WR Ramses Barden said "it's probably best" if he plays elsewhere in 2013.

The Giants have some interest in re-signing Barden, but both sides agreed that he'll test the open market. Barden's size -- 6-foot-6, 224 pounds -- will pique teams' interest, but he's yet to produce in his four years in the league.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

The Giants have interest in re-signing free agent Ramses Barden, but will let him hit the open market.

"We have spoken and they do have interest in re-signing him," Barden's rep said. "(But) we agreed that he’ll test the market and see how it unfolds." Translation, if Barden is back in New York, it will be on the Giants' terms. The 2009 third-round pick has just 29 catches through four seasons, nine of which came against the Panthers last Week 3. Barden's 6-foot-6, 224 pounds may intrigue a few teams on the open market, but his tape won't do him any more favors than his numbers.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

Ramses Barden hinted that he does not expect a long-term deal from the Giants before free agency opens.

Barden erupted for nine catches and 138 yards in Week 3 when both Hakeem Nicks and Domenik Hixon were sidelined. But he subsequently fell behind rookie Reuben Randle and totaled just four catches the rest of the way. "My agent and I just have to sit down with the Giants' management and hopefully both parties can find a way to keep me around," Barden said. "Free agency doesn't open until March so I’ll have a better idea of where I'll be playing then."

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

Giants WR Ramses Barden (concussion) is listed as probable for Week 6.

Barden practiced fully throughout the week, so he is going to play. Hakeem Nicks (foot) is likely to return on Sunday, and with Domenik Hixon playing well ahead of him, Barden's depth chart standing is uncertain. He's not worth owning beyond 16-team leagues.

Giants WR Ramses Barden (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

He's good to go for Sunday's game against the 49ers. With Domenik Hixon playing well and Hakeem Nicks trending toward a return, however, Barden is no longer on the fantasy radar.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

Giants WR Ramses Barden (concussion) has been cleared to resume practicing.

Barring a setback, he'll return for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Even if Hakeem Nicks (foot) remains sidelined, however, Barden won't be a fantasy option with Domenik Hixon (11 catches, 169 yards) breaking out the past two weeks.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

Giants declared WRs Ramses Barden and Hakeem Nicks, OT David Diehl, LB Keith Rivers, CB Jayron Hosley, S Kenny Phillips, and DT Rocky Bernard inactive for Week 5 against the Browns.

Barden is out with a concussion. Nicks has knee and foot injuries, but seems to be progressing and should have a chance to play next week. Rivers, Hosley, Phillips, Diehl, and Bernard are all battling various injuries. The Giants are perhaps the NFL's most banged-up team right now, so they should consider themselves lucky that they get to face the winless Browns in Week 5.

Giants WR Ramses Barden (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 5.

The G-Men will turn to a three-wide set of Victor Cruz, Domenik Hixon, and Rueben Randle against the Browns. With Hakeem Nicks (knee, foot) showing signs of progress, Barden can be dropped in 10- and 12-team fantasy leagues.

Ramses Barden (concussion) did not practice Thursday.

Since Barden wasn't diagnosed with his concussion until Tuesday, he probably doesn't have enough time to get through the league's protocols. Reuben Randle would take his place as the No. 3 wideout against the Browns.

Ramses Barden - WR - Giants

Giants WR Ramses Barden has been diagnosed with a concussion.

Barden sustained the concussion at the tail end of Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. He complained of headaches on Tuesday and was sent for tests, where doctors discovered the concussion. Considering the late discovery, his status for Sunday's game against the Browns is extremely shaky. If Barden and Hakeem Nicks (knee, foot) can't go, Domenik Hixon will be an every-down wideout against a Joe Haden-less secondary.
