Cardinals release WR/KR Ted Ginn
The Arizona Cardinals have released wide receiver and kick returner Ted Ginn, the team announced Monday.
Ginn signed a three-year, $9.75 free-agent deal with the Cardinals before last season and was owed a non-guaranteed $3.25 million for 2015. The Cardinals will absorb $1.5 million in dead salary cap money, but save $2.5 million in cap space.

Ginn, 29, caught 14 passes for 190 yards in 16 games. The eight-year veteran also returned 22 kickoffs for 417 yards, as well as 26 punts for 277 yards and a touchdown.
After agreeing to a new contract with Larry Fitzgerald earlier this month, the Cardinals have a crowded receiver group with him, Michael Floyd and Jaron Brown.
