The Cleveland Browns have reportedly expressed interest in signing wide receiver/kick-return specialist Ted Ginn Jr., according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Northeast Ohio Media Group

Ginn was released by the Arizona Cardinals on Monday. 

Browns safety Donte Whitner advocated for his friend and former college teammate. Whitner and Ginn starred together at Ohio State

"I think it would be a natural fit and I think it would give our fan base another big boost from a hometown guy like Teddy, who played at Ohio State, who played at Glenville High School, who's a Cleveland native,'' Whitner said. "And I think it would give him a boost also, playing in front of his friends, and family and fans that grew up watching him, so I think that would be a big career boost for him also.

"I'm hopeful that it happens."

The Carolina Panthers have also shown interest in Ginn, according to Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer. 

Carolina could use an upgrade at wide receiver and in the return game.
