I have no idea if the Panthers would be interested in resigning him but the chance of him being released would seem quite high.

As Jeremy pointed out his salary($3.5m)is quite high for his production. Also the team is over the cap by $10,000,000.

Cutting him would save $2.5m in cap space for them.

$4m dollar cap hit if he stays.

$1.5m if he is cut.

They could save even more if designated a June 1st cut.

Here is a calculator that will illustrate this:

Im a Ted Ginn fan btw i just dont see how much he brings to the receiving game

As an individual, not much, but to group he could help a lot. There aren't many defensive backs who can keep up with Ginn or Brown much less having a team that has two people. This forces a safety to play over the top on them instead of rolling over to cover Benji or Olsen. That also opens up our run game because the safeties will have to play honest to cope with the speed on the field. Ultimately it spreads the line, opens run lanes, leaves Benji and Olsen in more one on ones, and gives us two guys who can out run anyone we face.

I'm partial to TGJ. I was in the end zone he scored the go ahead TD against the pats on MNF last year, then Cam launched the ball over our section. It was magical.

I'd be all for him coming back, he's proven and he and Cam did seem to have chemistry. I think proehl utilized him well too, he's great over the top with double moves but his routes where he broke off and came back to the line were good as well due to fear of his speed.

It's a no brainer from a pr/kr standpoint at the very least.

Good summary, just substitute Ginn's name with Torrey Smith and you've got yourself a 4 year playoff offence.

His value as a return man is enough for me to sign him.

Ill take 40/600/5 line and a couple return TDs out of a 2 mil/year receiver. Him setting Cam up with short fields was invaluable when you have a defense holding teams to 15ppg.

      Every single player to ever play in the league has had a “welcome to the NFL, rook” moment.  Every. Single. One.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
