Packers to host Ricky Jean Francois on free-agent visit

Geoff Burke / USA TODAY Sports

Free-agent defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois announced Tuesday that the Green Bay Packers will be the next stop as he continues to make team visits.

The eight-year veteran, who was released by the Washington Redskins last week, previously met with the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears.

Bolstering the defensive front should be one of several priorities for Green Bay as the offseason moves forward, and Jean Francois would at the very least be primed for a key rotational role if signed.

Starting 6-of-16 appearances during the last of his two seasons in Washington, Jean Francois recorded 32 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
