Ted Ginn Jr.

Ginn is not replacing Cooks in anything but the speed department. Thomas replaced Cooks as the WR1. Ginn is our 3rd or 4th receiver. 

If you think Ginn is gonna be the 3rd or 4th receiver on this deal you are mistaken...now he may fall down the depth chart, but that is not 3rd string or lower money. Backups don't get paid $3 million guaranteed. They've got just over 9 million committed to the receiver group for 2017 - he represents a third of that total. 

So look forward to your new number two receiver, because he was definitely brought in to fulfill Cooks' role.

ESPN's Dianna Russini initially reported the move Thursday. On Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Ginn's three-year deal is worth $11 million, with $3 million guaranteed.

He is their third best receiver right now I believe behind Thomas and Snead. That contract is not egregious for a 3rd option imo.

    • They may be meaningless in the sense of wins and losses but this team isn't yet at a place where that is honestly all that matters  It's full of young players that need to make progress for us to compete consistently and this (multiple players in a year getting it) is evidence that's starting to happen.
    • This argument takes nuance, but I see both sides of it.  Bryce's good games, he's one of the best in the league, without a question. Lately, his really good games have been few and far between, though we are riding on a career best day last week. His bad games are not NFL quality. Hard to argue that as well.  He reminds me of Cam Newton in one way. They are both such statistical anomalies that evaluating them can be extremely difficult. QB roulette is absolutely no path to success. Furthermore, we have literally watched our franchise recently let 3 QBs go that left and proved they could still do it at a high level. I definitely give Bryce this season, and probably next season.  If Bryce can be the good version of Bryce more consistently it's crazy to let him walk. With the inconsistencies too, I think we could probably get a team friendly deal. If he can't bring next year's roster to the playoffs, he's not the guy, period.  I do think Bryce is always going to be a guy that requires a quality offensive line due to his physical limitations. I think we can do it, but it's a factor to consider.  You have to account for that money, and Damien Lewis, Robert Hunt and Taylor Moton are all between 28-31. If he's our guy for the next 10 years, it does appear he's going to have a top quality #1 receiver to get the ball to.
