Ricci joins teammates LeVante Bellamy (Broncos) and Luke Juriga (Eagles) to sign undrafted free agent deals after not hearing their names called in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The 6-foot-3, 240-pound tight end had a breakout season for the Broncos last season, catching 51 passes for 642 yards and eight touchdowns.
