Ted Ginn Jr could return to Panthers

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.

    • I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy. 
    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
