Ted Ginn Jr could return to Panthers

[nctarheel0619]

The Carolina Panthers learned early in 2014 just how much they would miss Ted Ginn Jr. Early and often the punt return game of Carolina cost the team opportunity and momentum. Neither Corey Brown nor Brenton Bersin looked at all competent returning punts.

Now in 2015, there is a real possibility Ted Ginn could return to the Panthers.

Currently, Ginn is under contract in salary cap strapped Arizona where is due to make a base salary of $3,250,000. This number does not match his production in Arizona (14 receptions, 0 TDs). According to Sport Trac , the Cardinals could save $1,750,000 by releasing Ginn this year, enough money to replace his production and then some.

If Ginn is released, I feel the Panthers would again be very interested in Ginn for a few reasons.

First and foremost, Ginn would instantly fix the punt return problem. That fact alone may be enough for the Panthers to pull the trigger.

Second, Cam Newton and Ted Ginn would quickly recover the chemistry they found in 2013. Cam would not be forced to once again get to know a brand new receiver during the offseason. Ginn was well liked by Cam and every other member of the Panthers squad and front office.

Third, Ginn could mentor fellow Ohio State product Corey Brown. Ginn and Brown are a very similar type of player. I think they would have an instant positive vibe between the two of them.

Ginn is 29 years old and could still provide a return game for a few more years.

Admit it, wouldn't you love to see a three wide set with both Ginn and Brown stretching the field as Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen play underneath? I know I would.

Actually, no. I would rather see Dorell Green Beckham, KB, Olsen, and Cotch. GB has the speed to go with the height. I'll take Ginn as a deep slot threat on some plays obviously for the cheap. That's it though. Edited February 11, 2015 by nctarheel0619

does Ginn have any return man value to you? or are you cool with Bersin?

Ginn had his best year as a receiver here and would again. If he would only fix the dropsies and he could be a real stud.

[TheNewStandard]

I think I'd take Eddie Royal over Ginn right now.

[WOW!!]

I'd take Cecil Short and Kenny Britt over Ginn.

those alligator arms get worse and worse the farther down the field he goes. IMO, all he can be counted for is a return specialist...which is something we need, but it's rough on the overall roster to have just one guy for just one reason.

If he is an upgrade to Bersin, which is an overwhelming yes, then he should be looked at.

[Snake]

Sure for the right price.

Ginn had alligator arms on too many deep balls, but his value as a return man would be huge

[TheWiz]

eh... we can do better.

[pantherclaw]

Only if he comes cheap.

I don't think there is anything he could teach philly. Philly actually catches the ball when it's thrown his way.

Not trying to toot my own horn but I called this months ago
