TG is on his last legs..the Bears asked him to Punt Return after Cohen got hurt. He wouldn’t even catch the punts much less return them ..they got an UDFA to replace him that made him expendable. Releasing him today subjects him to waivers and if he signs with another team the Bears are off the hook for the rest of his salary this year. Please Browns sign him.

Head Coach
Teddy has made a home in Charlotte (from his days with Panthers) and I could easily see him easing into retirement and settling in Charlotte area. Interestingly enough, I see Kurt Coleman periodically around south Charlotte area. Also made a home in Charlotte from days with Panthers.

It's incredible the NFL career he's been able to create for himself. If this is it - kudos to the most electrifying player I've ever seen.

Buckeyes are best
#24 all-time in career all-purpose yards, with 15,749

And Spotrac has him at just over $40M career earnings in 14 seasons.

Just an incredible career, and I’m really looking forward to whatever he does next.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
During a recent appearance at Troy Smith’s Heisman Youth Camp, Ginn was asked whether he is currently considering retirement.
“I’m thinking about it,” Ginn told Gary Housteau of 247Sports affiliate Bucknuts. “Looking for an opportunity but if an opportunity don’t come I’m happy with where I’m at.”
Asked about how he feels about his playing career, Ginn simply stated, “Awesome. No regrets. Thankful. Keep God first. Keep family first. And I just cherish everything that I’ve been a part of.”
Ginn credited his father, Ted Ginn Sr., who coached him at Glenville High School in Cleveland.
“It’s a dream. It’s both of our dreams,” the younger Ginn said. “One had to come up with it, one had to walk it. So he came up with and I walked it. And we both had the success out of it that we wanted. I believe that I did everything that I could do as a son as far as sports and being a man for him. And he did everything as a father and being a coach for me in the sports world. Now we can just go back and enjoy it, look back and say, ‘Hey, we did that.’”
In 14 seasons in the NFL, Ginn has caught 412 passes for 5,742 yards and 33 touchdowns. Also return specialist, Ginn has scored seven touchdowns in his career as either a kick or punt returner. Last season with Chicago, Ginn only appeared in six games and made three receptions for 40 yards. He also returned five punts for a total of 24 yards.
