I too like Graham but wonder if he can cover a tight end or running back for even a short time. I just don't know."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Jets just traded a fifth round pick to the Steelers for Santonio Holmes.
If Dez Bryant falls to the Steelers in the first round, do they pick him? That might mean that Mike Iuaputi falls to the Packers at 23, do we pick him then?

That, plus a four game suspension (so his employer is getting him for twelve games) and one year left on his deal.

Dolphins trying to trade WR Ginn, possibly during next week's draft
By Jason La Canfora | NFL.com
The Miami Dolphins have been pursuing options to trade wide receiver Ted Ginn, league sources said Tuesday.
Ginn, a first-round draft pick by the Dolphins in 2007, has excelled on special teams, but he hasn't regularly contributed as a receiver. He had 38 receptions for 454 yards and one touchdown last season.
Ginn's lack of productivity and relatively heavy rookie contract have turned off some teams, and two league executives said they don't anticipate the Dolphins receiving considerable value for the three-year pro in a trade.
Still, Ginn could be a part of a package on the first night of the draft next Thursday, as the Dolphins might trade up from the 12th spot. Clemson running back C.J. Spiller is among the players for whom they could make a move.
The Dolphins are looking for playmakers on the outside and still could make a trade for Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall, a restricted free agent who received a first-round tender.

This is quite shocking to me. Ginn was 9th overall, which I think we all agree was a massive reach. But I think the Big Tuna is off his rocker with this move.Comment

Why would any team ahead of the Dolphins trade back in exchange for the underproductive Mr. Tedd Ginn?"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

My gosh, that seems a high price to pay for a malcontent.

dd Ginn to Dolphins on trade block (with video)
Coach Tony Sparano has often said the Dolphins are happy with their wide receivers. Well, I guess one would have to define happiness if, as I suspect, the report Ted Ginn is on the trade block is correct.
NFL.com's Jason LaCanfora tweeted minutes ago that Ginn is being shopped by the Dolphins.
My question is who would buy and for how much?
Ginn is coming off a year in which he regressed in 2009. He caught 38 passes for 454 yards and one touchdown. He also dropped eight passes, which was among the NFL leaders in that category.
In 2008 Ginn caught 56 passes for 790 yards and two touchdowns. Not stellar, but there were still hopes Ginn could continue to improve. Those hopes took a significant hit last year.
At one point, Ginn lost his starting job before regaining it late in the season.
So where does this leave us?
One might assume the Baltimore Ravens might be interested as Cam Cameron is their offensive coordinator. Cameron was the one who drafted Ginn's family in 2007. General manager Randy Mueller drafted Ginn.
But let's face it, in a league where Brandon Marshall is available for less than a first-round pick and Anquan Boldin was traded for a third and fourth-round pick, Ginn's value cannot be very high.
The Dolphins might be lucky to get a low fourth rounder for Ted Ginn Jr. And that might be based on his promise as a good return man.
[Update: One NFL personnel man has returned an email on the topic and he confirms Ginn is on the market. He also said Ginn would have different value for different teams, with most showing no interest. He said someone might, might give up a fifth-round pick because Ginn's only 26 years old and has elite speed that is "tempting."]
In recent days it has come to light that Miami is willing to consider trading Ronnie Brown, Tyler Thigpen and now Ginn.
We'll see.

Since we have serious issues in the return game, I'd trade our 5th in a heartbeat to get Ginn.Comment

Supposedly the LT from the Bucs, Donald Penn wants a new deal or trade. If things get out of control maybe they'll trade him who knows.
Also, I think Ginn would be a great pickup for us. For a 5th round pick and maybe a prospect player to the Dolphins I think it could be done. It would just be another less need (kick returner) we would have to address in the draft.Comment
