Ricard is signed to a $3.5 million guarantee on a two-year, $7.6 million contract, indicating a real offensive role beyond goal-line snaps and special teams. The source notes that at the peak of Baltimore's fullback usage under Greg Roman in 2021-2022, Ricard played 57.3% and 63.7% of offensive snaps. Roman is now with the Giants as a senior offensive assistant, and while he probably won't use Ricard on more than half the snaps, something like 40% wouldn't be shocking and would have major implications for the rest of the offense.
