The Chicago Bears didn’t make a move before the trade deadline on Tuesday, but they are making a move following the deadline. And it’s a move that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
The Bears have parted ways with veteran wide receiver Teds Ginn Jr., according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Another post-trade-deadline move: Bears have released veteran WR Ted Ginn, per source.

Ginn signed with the Bears as a free agent this offseason, where his speed was thought to be a big asset. Although with the success of fifth-round rookie receiver Darnell Mooney, who has climbed his way to the top of the depth chart opposite Allen Robinson, Ginn’s role on offense declined with each passing week.
But when running back Tarik Cohen tore his ACL, Ginn had an opportunity to prove his worth on punt returns. That wasn’t to be, as Ginn was a healthy scratch for last Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints and newcomer Dwayne Harris took over punting duties, where he found success.
In six games, Ginn finishes his Bears career with three catches for 40 yards.
