The Bears have released wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., according to a source who spoke with ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter). The move doesn’t come as a huge surprise given Ginn’s limited playing time as of late.

Last season, Ginn caught 30 passes for 421 yards and two touchdowns for the Saints. But, once New Orleans signed Emmanuel Sanders, Ginn was left to find work elsewhere. He inked a one-year deal with the Bears, where he went on to appear in six games this year. However, he did not play in Sunday’s loss to his old friends in New Orleans and he was hardly seen on the field throughout October.
The Bears had Ginn signed for the veteran salary benefit, worth $1.187MM. The release won’t have a major impact on their 2020 cap, but it will free up an extra spot on the active roster.
Ginn leaves Chicago with a stat line of three catches for 40 yards, plus five punt returns for 24 yards. Now in his 14th pro season, it’s not immediately clear whether he’ll hook on elsewhere. For what it’s worth, Ginn said he’s “still got a few more years left” back in April.
He would still be employed if he didn’t make a business decision every time a punt came his way.
You’re right and that’s why he’s gone. He didn’t field a single punt against the Rams (5).

Time to replace Ginn with Jack Daniels. The Bears have gone from the number one playoff seed to number 8 in just 2 weeks.
Ryan Pace keeps going to his New Orleans Saints days trying to recycle former players that got him the GM job in Chicago..wouldn’t know talents if it hit him in the face.
An example of a player that always had more “potential” than actual talent.
