Another post-trade-deadline move: Bears have released veteran WR Ted Ginn, per source.

Ted Ginn Jr. is on the lookout for his next team. The 14-year NFL veteran was released by the Chicago Bears after Tuesday’s trade deadline, putting the former New Orleans Saints starter back on the market.
If this is it for his NFL career, Ginn will have appeared in 208 games for six different teams since being picked in the first round of the 2007 draft by the Miami Dolphins. He spent the last three years with the Saints before signing with Chicago as a free agent.
Unfortunately for Ginn, the Bears have found younger playmakers to fill some of the same roles. Tulane product Darnell Mooney has taken his snaps on offense, while punt returner Dwayne Harris is standing out on special teams. Ginn caught just three passes for 40 yards in Chicago before the Bears cut him.
Should the Saints bring him back for another look? They could add him to the practice squad as an upgrade over Tommylee Lewis, but he probably won’t bring much to the active roster once Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, and Marquez Callaway each return. Still, no Saints position group has been hit harder by injuries than the receiving corps this year, so there’s an argument in his favor.
