New York Giants News And Rumors: WR Ramses Barden Signs 1-Year Contract Deal

May 24, 2013 10:38 AM EDT

Ramses Barden has returned to the New York Giants after declaring last February that leaving the team was a smart move.

"It's probably best for me to start looking other places for a new system,'' Barden said. "I think everyone can benefit from newness in their lives. This is going to be one of those for me.''

Barden spent four years with the Giants and never produced much and never convinced the coaching staff that he could be a vital part of the offense.

However, now according to the New York Post, Barden is singing a much different tune.

"I'm happy to be back" after signing and then headed out to the field to watch his new-old team work during the second organized team activity practice. "This is where I wanted to be and now I'm here. I was out there listening to the calls, getting back into the rhythm of the cadence, enjoying the camaraderie and absorbing everything. I remember everything; I've had four years to soak it all up. I'm happy to be back on the field. I feel great. I expect the best."

Barden's signing comes at a time when the Giants are depleted at the receiver position, with Victor Cruz staying away from the team as his contract negotiations drags, while Hakeem Nicks still slowed by an offseason knee procedure.
