Eagles might pursue Ginn

   Ginn also had a nice year with the Panthers as a receiver, catching 36 passes for 556 yards (15.4 per reception), and 5 TDs. More importantly, he excelled at getting yards after the catch, averaging 6.3 yards after the catch on his receptions. That would have led Eagles receivers last year, who, with the exception of Jason Avant. all had YAC averages in 2013 that were higher than their career YAC averages.

    Ginn could significantly upgrade the Eagles return units and give them another very speedy weapon in their offense.

Ginn isn't likely to come back, his bidding will go over what the panthers can likely pay him. I don't think he'll turn down the chance for more money and to be featured more in an offense.

I cannot say I agree fully with this.

If I was Ginn, I would be looking at the big picture and wondering how many teams would actually invest in a journeyman.

Ginn has had nice stats and has been used well here, or at least better than say, San Fran.

My gut feeling is that Ted Ginn and Mike Mitchell will both be re-signed prior to the start of free agency.

A gut feeling is all it is, though.

I'm totally with you on this one

You honestly would rather have a glorified returner who had a decent last season over a guy who was outplaying DeSean Jackson before he got hurt? The goal here is to find true #1/#2 receivers here in the offseason, not keep what we had in our 26th or whatever ranked offense and hope our lesser WR's develop.  Don't get me wrong I like Ginn, I hope he signs cheap with us and continues to get better but get real, 80% of the FA Crop at WR is better than him at this point in time and I wouldn't hesitate to replace him.  Especially if he is asking for money he doesn't deserve.

    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.  
    • They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.
    • Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
