The Facts: Ginn just had the best two seasons of his career with the Panthers after turning 30 years old. So how does a veteran receiver like Ginn try to keep it going? Find an age-defying quarterback to work with. "That's why it was very important to find a home like I found, because Drew Brees is the type of guy that can extend your career, man, and that's what it's all about," said Ginn, who signed a three-year, $11 million contract with the New Orleans Saints on the opening day of free agency.
Diehards Line:
The Saints signed Ginn, knowing they were about to trade away dynamic speedster Brandin Cooks to New England. ESPN.com's Mike Triplett, stating the obviously, notes that Ginn hasn't been the same caliber player as Cooks, who had more than 1,100 receiving yards in each of the past two seasons with a combined 17 touchdowns. But he will definitely help fill the void left by Cooks, opening things up underneath for receivers like Michael Thomas and Willie Snead. Ginn had catches of 55, 45 and 40 yards against the Saints alone over the past two years. Overall, he had 1,491 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2015 and 2016.
