Ted Ginn Jr. News
Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday after becoming the ninth overall pick in the 2007 draft and playing 14 seasons. The 36-year-old pass-catcher caught 33 touchdowns, ran for two more and also had seven return touchdowns. Ginn had elite speed and was a three-time All-American at Ohio State before he was a first-round pick by the Miami Dolphins. He also finished his career with 5,742 receiving yards, although he never really reached the expectations as a receiver drafted early in the first round. Ginn failed to make a single Pro Bowl in his time in the NFL, and he bounced around the league after leaving the Dolphins to join the San Francisco 49ers in 2010. His best years came with the Carolina Panthers in three seasons, where he caught 134 passes for 2,047 yards and 19 touchdowns.
The Chicago Bears released veteran wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. on Wednesday, according to a source. The Bears likely tried to trade the 35-year-old wideout but found no takers before the Tuesday deadline. In an offense that has barely been able to support two fantasy relevant pass-catchers, Ginn was buried too far down on Chicago's receiving depth chart to see much action. He caught half of his six targets for 40 yards in six games played in 2020 in his 14th season in the NFL. There's no guarantee that Ginn will latch on to another team's practice squad at this point in his career.
Chicago Bears wide receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Riley Ridley are healthy scratches in Week 2. The big news here is Ginn, as he played 43 percent of the team's Week 1 snaps. Ginn wasn't a factor in that game and Bears should turn to Anthony Miller more in this one, whose snap rate should take a huge leap. Miller's an interesting option now, while Ginn can be dropped in redraft leagues this week unless some news emerges to suggest he was injured, because being a healthy scratch on this offense is really, really bad news.
