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.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
