Ick.

Funny Cribbs just got a 3 year 20 million dollar deal and most think it was well deserved (I don't really). Is he really that much better of a returner. It sure as hell wasn't for his receiving ability (only averaged 6.9 YPC last year).

People look at the fact that Ginn sucks balls as a reciever and completly ignore how dynamic of a returner is. That is where his value is and I believe he is worth a million a year not to mention we probably could restructure it. He is worth a 5th (or I guess a 6th and a 6th next year since we don't have one).

i'm confused. is the writer saying that's a lot of money? i thought that was chump change for an nfl player. isn't that only about double the minimum for a player with his experience?

why would anyone wait to see if he's released just to save 500 grand? he's one of the best return men in the league. that's about cheap as fudge.

Thats what I am saying. He is worth that just to be a KR. And he does bring some value as a receiver (not much) but he could at least bring us a good deep threat. Maybe Tolbert can work on his hands and RR and he might be salvageable.

His speed alone opens up smitty in the slot .. you send ginny pig streaking down the field and tadah to a 15 + yard curl / slant to smith for a first

If he would have went in the 2nd or 3rd like he should have people would be salivating to get a returner on the level of Hester or Cribbs. Its like the fact that he is such a huge bust for a top 10 pick that people fail to see that he is a probably the 3rd or 4th best returner in the league.

Man you people are picky as hell. I want our team to get better but don't want to get a guy that will bring a solid ST threat and a be decent receiver for a late round pick. Our return game has been average to abysmal since the days of Smith. If our team had a great return game it could really do wonders for a young QB.

3rd or 4th best returner based on what exactly? Last year was the first year Ginn finished in the top 20 in Yards per Return...at # 13 (Cribbs finished 3rd)

He's scored 2 KOR TD's in his career (both in the same game). In the same time period, Cribbs scored 6. The highest Ginn return avg was 24.9 y/rt. The lowest Cribbs ever averaged was 24.3 y/rt (his highest being an eye popping 30.7 y/rt)

So please. Enlighten us picky ones how Ginn is clearly the 3rd or 4th best returner in the league.

Or are you referring to his amazing 5.6 y/rt on punts?

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
