Jason La Canfora: Miami Dolphins Shopping Ted Ginn

According to NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora, the Miami Dolphins are shopping former top-10 pick, wide receiver Ted Ginn.

Ginn was the first selection of the short-lived Cam Cameron era in Miami, and like most of the things Cameron did in Miami, Ginn has been a huge disappointment. During his time in Miami he has not shown the hands or route-running ability to play wide receiver in the NFL.

He’s been very good as a return man, but he’s highly overpaid as nothing more than a return specialist. He’s been falling more and more out of favor with Tony Sparano and Bill Parcells with every ball he drops, and they’re now ready to move past the failed first-round pick.

But what market, if any, is there for Ginn? He’s a guy who can get down the field and is able to blow past almost any corner in the league (if he can ever get off the press, of course), but he has a difficult time locating the ball in the air, coming down with it, and then making a play with the ball in his hands.

Teams around the league probably view him more as a return man and nothing more than a third receiver at this point, so the Dolphins would probably be lucky to get a fifth-round pick out of anyone. Actually, getting a fifth-round pick for Ginn would be like hitting the lottery for Sparano and Parcells.

The Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, and Tennessee Titans could all be potential landing spots for Ginn as none of those three teams really possess a burner at receiver to stretch the field. They all have possession receivers, so Ginn could be a good addition if teams actually fear that he can get behind them and catch the ball.

He can also dub as a return man for any of the three teams mentioned.

Ginn can probably be had for next-to-nothing, but after seeing Santonio Holmes get jettisoned for a fifth-round pick, the best the Dolphins can realistically hope for is a conditional 2011 pick on draft day.
