Cardinals Release Ted Ginn

[t96]

Didnt gman/rivera say something about not bringing in players exclusively for one position?  I don't see them bringing in ginn just to be a return man.

 

No they actually said the opposite that they would bring in players who could be just special teams guys.

Exactly. This is why bringing back Ginn on a 1-year deal makes so much sense.

 

We're going into the draft looking for a WR/KR but if we don't draft one (or reach for one) we already have an excellent KR/PR in Ted Ginn.

 

 

This what Gettleman meant when he said you use Free Agency to set up your draft.

[PntherPryd]

Ginn is what he is.  Calling him a legit WR threat is a stretch.  Add to the fact he is another year older and I'm definitely in the "vet min" group.  

 

If we go for a FA returner I'd like to see if we can get CJ Spiller at a decent price....................

[Moose87Banks]

Haha why did u delete my thread I just started?

 

Did he really delete yours? Sounds like a complex....

 

[TheWiz]

dont see him as an answer... but a step in the right direction. still want to see what kind of receiver we draft.

 

positives:

speed - will make a defense respect us as a deep threat... opening up things for KB and Olsen. could get interesting seeing him and philly brown in some fancy reverses.

ST- (goodbye Bersin) versatility

CAMistry- he has seen his most success as a receiver with Cam as his QB.

had a down year, we should be able to sign him for cheap.

 

negatives:

im sure there are some, but they really dont come to mind right now.

 

[Panthro]

Bring him back.

I like to only remember the things that I say that are correct. But last offseason I said out of all the people released or allowed to walk (including Smitty) that two players we would miss most were Mike Mitchell and Ted Ginn Jr.

I still stand by that belief.

Yes he had some drops, but his speed helped every other receiver so much that season, and he is a proven punt returner.

This makes a lot of sense for us, and for Ginn.

The ever present caveat though is "for the right price"

I said ginn too omg

[TheRumGone]

I know beggers can't be choosers but ginn had career lows last year for kr and pr.

That said he'd obviously be an upgrade. He's getting older though

As long as it's only a 1-year min deal, I'm all for it.

 

[magnus]

Also, aren't players that are released before free agency eligible to sign with a new team immediately? So we can start negotiating with him now, right?

yes, but this is where people want to get themselves heartbroken.  Just because a guy is available right now, or just because the team has two dollars to rub together right now, doesn't mean they're going to sign guys right now or day 1 of UFA.  

They're still going to wait out some guys looking for the big payday and grab players after that. 

[Ivan The Awesome]

I want him back.

[beastson52]

I think Jeremy should explain why he deleted my thread and started one of the same..fuq that noise

 

 

Ima go with... Cause he can.... 

[MCC]

not that mark s isn't a good poster, but in general you want your featured news on a heavily-trafficked site to sustain a certain quality and brand. if the ted ginn thread literally reads "cards released ted gin wot do u guys think" and it gets ten thousand hits, you're losing the opportunity to make it yourself with a bit of commentary and brand flair and keep your product consistent.

 

you can learn a lot about business from watching breaking bad.

 

 

I don't know why this is so hard to understand. 

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

He needs to come back

[Byrdman4real]

Give this man his jersey back
