Cleveland Browns RUMORS: Ted Ginn Jr. a Free Agent Target?

The Arizona Cardinals parted ways with wide receiver/ return man Ted Ginn Jr. Monday, saving $2.5 million in salary cap space in the process.

Ginn, the ninth overall pick in 2007, has spent time with four different teams in his eight year career. Which team is up next?

"Sometimes things fall in your lap and when that happens don't over-think it, just accept it," ESPNCleveland.com's Tony Grossi wrote. "The Browns need a return specialist. Ted Ginn Jr. was released by the Arizona Cardinals on Monday afternoon.

"The Cleveland native and son of legendary high school coach Ted Ginn told me two years ago at Super Bowl 47 with the 49ers in New Orleans that he would love to finish his career with his hometown browns."

Ginn has never developed into the type of receiver scouts thought he could be when he was coming out of Ohio State. His return skills, however, have enabled him to stick around in the NFL. Does he have enough left in the tank to make it worth Cleveland's time? ESPN's Josh Weinfuss isn't so sure.

"Ginn, who turns 30 in April, had an underwhelming 2014 as Arizona's punt and kick returner and its fifth receiver," Weinfuss wrote. "His highlight came in Week 2, when he returned a punt 71 yards for a touchdown against the New York Giants. Beyond that, Ginn struggled with deciding whether to bring kickoffs out of the end zone. His 277 punt-return yards were the fewest of Ginn's career when he was his team's primary returner since his rookie season in 2007. Ginn's 417 kickoff-return yards were the second fewest of his career."
