Ginn, who played with San Francisco last season, also reportedly has an offer from Cincinnati. “Ted came in and did a nice job. I know our guys really spoke highly of his visit,” Rivera said Wednesday.
Rivera continued: “The interesting thing about Ted is he gives us some depth at wide receiver who can challenge for playing time opportunity. But also he's got special teams value, which is big. ...” inn, 27, a first-round pick out of Ohio State in 2007, has six career touchdown returns – three on punt returns and three on kickoffs. The Panthers used Armanti Edwards, Joe Adams and Armond Smith as their kick returners after Kealoha Pilares went down with a season-ending shoulder injury in November. Adams, a fourth-round pick last year, lost his spot as the primary punt returner after he fumbled twice in a Week 3 loss to the Giants.
