Reports: Dolphins Place WR Ted Ginn, QB Tyler Thigpen On Trade Block

PrintThe Miami Dolphins have reportedly placed WR Ted Ginn and QB Tyler Thigpen on the trading block.
Armando Salguero of the Miami-Herald followed up a report from Jason La Canfora of NFL.com that Ginn was available and also mentions that "it's come to light" that Thigpen is available as well.
Why should this be interesting to the Kansas City Chiefs?
The Chiefs, and specifically Pioli, like trading with people they know. Last year we saw trades with the Dolphins (Bill Parcells), Patriots (Bill Belichick) and Falcons (Thomas Dimitroff) -- all former associates of Mr. Pioli.
So anytime a Dolphins player is on the block, we should take notice.
Ginn plays receiver -- a perceived position of need for the Chiefs -- so that should draw your eye right there. He's also a deep threat and Chris Chambers, 32, is really the only deep threat the Chiefs have. In addition to that, Ginn also returns kicks -- another perceived area of need for the Chiefs.
Those are the reasons we should take notice.
Are the Chiefs interested?
My hunch says no on both accounts. Ginn just doesn't strike me as one of the right 53 (whatever that means).
The Chiefs of course originally traded Thigpen to the Dolphins so they're not eyeing him.
But, speaking of Thigpen -- Mr. Gailey, are you there?

i could see
Buffalo going after Thigpen and scarping the idea of selecting a QB in round 1 or 2.
I’d be all for Ginn if it were cheap. He could be a nice return guy, but he sucks as a receiver. He has Mark Bradley hands.

I think we'd only be interested in Ginn more for his KR/PR abilities.

thigpen on the move again?
with an agent like his – tyler might be traded more times than a Charizard holopgraphic pokemon card in the late 90’s.
The OL class is too deep to take Bryan "T-Rex" Bulaga at 5 if we can't trade down. Just draft Berry, not only will it be the better pick but it will sell jerseys. I mean let's be real, no one is going to buy a Bulaga jersey.

Agreed...
Ginn is good at returns, and a deep threat on offense. Remember he was selected like 9 or 7th overall in his draft…I would love to see that move for a 4th, 3rd (worse case)
Ginn is not a very dependable receiver
great return man, but not dependable in the passing game. they ended up living and dieing by bess and camarillo in passing, espeically. First he got a pass because he is a deep threat receiver and pennington does not throw that far, but last year i think they finally gave up on him. henne has a big enough arm to use a guy like that and he could not count on him.
Far as I am concerned, sure, if he’s cheap, like 4th or 5th (places where we would take a chance on kr/pr and cheap slot receiver)

This 2010 OL class is too deep to take Bryan "T-Rex" Bulaga 5th overall, which is why we will draft Berry...not only will it be the better pick but it will sell jerseys. I mean let's be real, no one is going to buy a Bulaga jersey.

Hells no on Ginn
Didn’t we lead the league in drops last year? He’s the dictionary definition of making a career of having a case of the dropsies.
I would have him only as a KR/PR man.
I’m tellin’ you… Now, don’t get it twisted. I’m not saying I want him on the team. I’m just saying that if we ARE interested, it should be for only that reason.

Well Ginn and Thigpen seem to have clean backgrounds so
count the Jets out as potential traders
No doubt. In related news, Larry Johnson just got traded to the Jets....

Ha! The Jets cut Leon Washington since he's a wimp and in an effort to find more toughness...
The Jets are working out Maurice Clarrett and Lawrence Phillips.
“We think they both can be excellent additions to our lockerroom,” said Rex Ryan.
In a related story, the team has changed its primary colors from green and white to black and white stripes and along with that, their jersey numbers from single and double digits to 5 digits.
Thigpen has some skeletons in his closet...

Bills defense is better than ours isn't it?
This would buy them 1-2 years to develop the team and a QBOF in house instead of making desperation offers to the McNabbs of the world. Good mid-term building move.

And how many wins?
I’m not saying he is terrible but he was in a gimicky offense and it was only a matter of time before the NFL caught on. There is the problem, when he gets shut down, what will he have to fall back on?

Get it done, Ginn for a 4th or 3rd next year...
depending on how many kick’s he returns for touchdowns
If Holmes got traded for a 5th
Even though there was other stuff involved, I’d be upset if we got Ginn for anything more than that. He hasn’t produced anywhere near what Holmes has.
yeah id be good with giving a 4th or a 5th and 6th for ginn
thoughts?
stoop kids afraid to leave his stoop! stoop kids afraid to leave his stoop!
Yeah, gotta at least make the call and offer a 5th
Good KR/PR is totally worth that, IMO
by Your_Moms_Boyfriend on Apr 13, 2010 4:36 PM CDT up reply actions
And we'd have to acquire a 6th rounder
But I still say no
Oh God...
They should GIVE US draft picks and a few bucks to simply TAKE Thigpen back.

Sorry. Responding to R2J_24…Thiggy blows! Our QB situation is way better now.

Ginn for a fifth
If Santonio Holmes (yes he had baggage) only commanded a fifth, I would expect no more for that than Ginn
Does anyone remember tribute vid of him called "strictly for his thiggas" or somthing like that?
I’ve been trying to find it to no avail

Interesting...
For a team that seems to need all the help it can get at QB to be trading away one, well, I guess that doesn’t say much for Thigg’s prowess. Been sayin’ it all along—Thigpen just ain’t all that. I hope Gailey does take him. It will ensure Buffalo’s mediocrity for years to come.
if we get Ginn as JUST a return guy im for it. but i live down here in south florida an that dude CAN NOT catch.
he lost the dolphins atleast 5 games.
Would ya like a free NANAA!

Ginn is available because his route running stinks and he has rock hands.
Other than that, he’s great.

returning
and maybe working his way up to some field time with the offense

Obviously no on Thigbone
Why not at least take a look at tedd ginn. A good returner would be a nice asset for this team who can also play slot. Depending on what they want, and assuming its a draft pick … why not, its going to take that high of a pick.
Dont think he has character issues or anything, as far as I know
Dont know what type of crack....
some people are smoking on here, but I’d take Thiggy back in a heartbeat. You want to keep Croyle over Thiggy?! Really!? I know I’ve been having to sit down here in Haiti for the past couple of months, but was there some massive mistake made in the stats between those two that just came out recently?
ehhh, no, its just that thigpen is not the type of QB we use in our system.
we play protect the ball, sit in the pocket football…
thigpen doesnt. he proved that with a forced double coverage pick the final week of the year
as for brodie…I don’t know if anyone is really touting the guy anymore…I just never bought into thiggy as anything more than a mediocre QB
Team Pioli/Haley
I Wouldn't Mind Getting Ginn.
If the Jets can pull off getting Santonio Holmes for a 5th rounder regardless of him only being able to play 12 games was a blockbuster of a deal and KC has 3 fifth rounders and I wouldn’t mind parting ways with one of them for Ginn. For one we need a dependable kick returner and we CAN’T put Jamaal on kickoffs all year next year because he’s too important to our offense and all of the other returners showed next to nothing last year. And if Pioli wants to get a safe pick they could put Ginn in a package deal with Miami’s 1st rounder for KC’s 5th overall and maybe swap later picks. Ginn would be a great addition to our recieving squad and I’m sure he could maybe reach a higher potential with a coach like Haley putting him to work. As for Thigpen, he was great while no one was really familiar with him and wasn’t ready for his skillset. Now everyone knows what he can do and won’t be much for a surprise factor anymore and I really think that is why he was so popular amongst Chiefs fans. Buffalo will probably pull the trigger on that trade.
parcells will not draft a WR in the first, especially that high.
He’s only taken 2 in his career, and one was at the end of the first.

True
But those 2 had to been taken at some point. Just because it is out character for Parcells to draft a WR does not mean he is going to pass on one this year. Trends are meant to be broken.

If the Chiefs were to trade for Ted Ginn...
…Probably a 5th rounder in 2011. That is worth way less than a 5th rounder in 2010.

Santonio Holmes was not even worth 2 5th round picks.
No way I would give 2 of them for Ted Ginn.

They're trying to make room for Tebow.
Pat White might as well pack his shit up, too.
The Chiefs will see a return to respectability in 2010, emerging as the front runner in the AFC West! ....And I'll quantify that however I choose. Ahem.
maybe one more season to try to fire up the wildcat with ronnie brown back
since he missed half the season. If they find great success, that would further perpuate the demand for a versitle “wildcat qb”. They will probably have to contend with the demand for a aging dog killer. Remember, they used a second for pat white only last year. I agree with you that they will look to move him, but I dont think yet.
ow if someone comes knocking, thats a different story. QB’s get hurt and trades happen.

I would be COMPLETELY content giving up a 5 for him
its worth the risk if haley thinks they can get him back on track…
he can spread the field, and return kicks…
one has to wonder though if hes really any better than Q.Lawrence…and if hes peaked
Team Pioli/Haley
I'd like to get Jason Allen (CB/S) in a package deal with Ginn
He may be considered a bust but I’d give up 2 5th rounders for 2 young former 1st rounders who could probably return big payoffs with the proper coaching. Plus that would fill 2 spots of need and I would WAY rather put 2 players on the field with experience in the NFL with High potential than the same type rookie with no clue whats coming his way on opening day Maybe send Page to Miami??? they need a FS.
Even if Buffalo gets thiggy
they still need a LT and hopefully Okung falls to us and Buffalo can trade up to grab him.
Arrowheadpride - A place to intelligently discuss things that won't actually happen. In Pioli I trust.
Ginn move
I’m going to start this using the quote a large group of fans from Miami made when they were live on TV as Miami picked Ted Ginn. A large silent pause came over the crowd and then a fan yelled out, “WHAT THE F#%$”. i tend to agree with them on this trade idea why would we want to take one of the worst wideouts in the league? So what he was a top draft pick (so was Ryan Leaf & Akili Smith why don’t we call them to play QB to?) he has been as big as a bust as Ryan Sims. You don’t build a great team on the "use to be good " concept. In that train of thought Josh Hypel will soon win the Superbowl. Let’s try getting players with talent and we won’t be having teams that are so bad we face TV blackouts. I like their approach so far let’s set back and see what happens, and let’s wait until after the draft to see where the veteran WRs get cut and then let’s make our decisions. It’s a marathon not a sprint don’t burn up the nitro ($cash$) to early!
