Stephen Hill for a late conditional pick?

any trading we need to do should be for OL.

sure hill is tall and can run really fast, but can he catch the ball when needed? highly doubtful and he's notba significant upgrade enough (if at all) over our top 5-6 WRs and not worth using limited resources to acquire. we need more protection for cam. that is where any efforts to improve should be.

Anyone else hearing grumbling that Ginn may get released by Zona?

 

On the ATL podcast they mentioned that it looked like rookie WR John Brown had moved ahead of Ginn on the depth chart. That would leave Ginn as the 4th WR making $3.25m per...wouldn't be surprised if they cut their losses depending on the structure of the contract.

 

edit: Looks like he was given a $2.25m signing bonus and would count $3.25m in dead money against the cap if released: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/ted-ginn-jr/

 

Figure the Cards might as well hold on to him for KR/PR duties if nothing else at that point.

 

edit2: holy poo, apparently he's the 5th WR:

 

Jaron Brown is the Cardinals' No. 4 receiver, behind No. 3 John Brown, and ahead of Ted Ginn.

I've heard about it. It would be crazy but and if he does I hope we Gettleman signs him quickly. I know Rivera has said he has faith in Philly Brown but he just not on Ginn's level return wise.

Ginn fugged himself. There's no going back now. He should have stayed.

 

Actually, Ginn wanted to get paid what he considered was fair market value.  Even if he did get released, he would still get paid a good amount, plus it's not like someone else wouldn't covet his services.   I'm thinking that he wanted to to somewhere else not only to get paid, but to continue on his quest to be used as a regular piece in the offensive rotation. That being the case, you can't even really say that he screwed himself in that sense, because even here he was more than likely destined for return duties.  Ultimately, Ginn is going to be what he should have been all along: a return man. And, he'll get paid a little more for his above average skills as a returner.

I'd take him over King, if we could get him for a conditional 7th that turns into nothing if we cut him by like midseason.  KB, Cotchery, Avant, Bersin, Hill would be interesting.  King might still be practice squad eligible, could keep him around that way maybe.

 

edit: forgot about Brown.  Could carry 6, since Brown should be our return guy.

    • not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season.

    • Yeah it's kind of like they don't want him on the team anymore for some reason
