The Miami Dolphins have been pursuing options to trade wide receiver Ted Ginn, league sources said Tuesday.
Ginn, a first-round draft pick by the Dolphins in 2007, has excelled on special teams, but he hasn't regularly contributed as a receiver. He had 38 receptions for 454 yards and one touchdown last season.
The Dolphinstraded two second-round draft picks for wide receiver Brandon Marshall on Wednesday, taking care of their need for a playmaker on the outside.
Ginn's lack of productivity and relatively heavy rookie contract have turned off some teams, and two league executives said they don't anticipate the Dolphins receiving considerable value for the three-year pro in a trade.
Still, Ginn could be a part of a package on the first night of the draft next Thursday, as the Dolphins might trade up from the 12th spot. Clemson running back C.J. Spiller is among the players for whom they could make a move.
