You have to feel good about this one. After his contract ran out with the New Orleans Saints last season, former Ohio State wide receiver and 13-year veteran Ted Ginn expressed interest in continuing his career in the NFL. At the ripe age of 35 though, you began to wonder if the phone would ring. Especially after some declining years stat-wise over his last couple in the Big Easy.
Hello Chicago Bears.
According to a report from NFL insider Ian Rapaport, Ginn has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Monsters of the Midway. The needs are mutually beneficial. Chicago lacked a deep threat with speed, and despite his age, Ginn is still one of the fastest receivers in the NFL.
This will be the sixth NFL team for Ginn. He started his career with the Miami Dolphins, but has also spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, and the aforementioned Saints.
