Ted Gin Jr.

He has not fumbled in 9 years but has also never gained 1,000 yards. Best year in Miami 93 catches. Last year he had 70 catches but the yards were almost identical even having 23 less catches.

Solid career but not sure why we signed him to this long contract at his age. Is he really going to be on the roster at 34?

Re: Ted Gin Jr.

He actually looked good last season. I was expecting him to be captain butterfingers but did well. I really liked his speed.

Re: Ted Gin Jr.

I think he's 32.

His cap number is manageable. And he's still fast enough.

Re: Ted Gin Jr.

At the end of his contract though he would be 34. I guess he could still play with his speed and those end around runs, a new wrinkle in his game. Carolina and us were the only ones to expand that roll and it's very effective.

Re: Ted Gin Jr.

Not sure I get this thread, missing N and all.

Are you saying 70 catches isn't worth $4.5 m? seems like a bargain, and his speed certainly hasn't diminished

and he has definitely fumbled

Re: Ted Gin Jr.

For you stat (Targets in 2017) guys ...

Cooks : 103 = 60 receptions
Ginn Jr : 64 = 50 receptions

Oh and Ginn is still just about as good as stretching defenses as Cooks was on deep routes. Even at 32, he's still fast as hell & highly productive. Until someone can beat him out of his position, I want him on this team.

Re: Ted Gin Jr.

Ginn, is there to stretch the field and when Brees sees the defense doesn't respect him, Brees makes him pay...

You don't pay No. 1 wideout money to that WR and if you want to have a defense, running game, et cetera, you spread the money around...

Re: Ted Gin Jr.

We could use another burner WR nonetheless. DJ Clark looks pretty fast.

This. Ginn doesn't suck. His value is that he can fly. He can clear out a defense as well as just about anyone.

Re: Ted Gin Jr.

Payton threw defenses off early using gadget plays early on and utilizing him like only Payton can! He did not have the drops that I was worried about and was great in space. I believe if he stays healthy he can still be valuable again.
