SteelKing728 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I don't think I ever heard of him, so this move sounds about right for Miami. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 He mad some hot plays last year, I assume the total contract is less than 15 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 A nice little player. If less than 15M, a great deal for Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Good deal if he can recover from his injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinSting Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Very good kickoff and punt returner. And special teams are like 33.33333333% of a team's success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before getting hurt last season he was also blossoming into a pretty good receiver, too. Hope he'll come back without losing a step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waited all the way through training camp to give him a hard look and make sure his Achilles injury had properly healed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Pretty sure the money is in line with what a KR/PR/slot WR makes. I like Grant, think he's got a nice little thing going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) If it's a usual 4-year-but-more-like-2 deal with very little guaranteed $ beyond this year & next at KR/PR/3rd-4th WR rates, sure. It's crazy to invest any guaranteed $ beyond 1-2 years for 27 year olds coming off major injuries like an Achilles injury though (to be clear, Gase said it wasn't an Achilles tear with surgery to fix it - but if you injure the Achilles, it's not something that ever goes away risk-wise, it's a sign it's starting to wear out, with no real way to prevent that, it's just a matter of when it happens, not if), so if it's based on projecting more production....pretty iffy. I like Grant a lot, but increasing his volume beyond a gadget/deep threat guy, that's likely to get him re-injured.

tom cody Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Seems like a good player, I remember hearing some talk about him last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardHawk Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Strange. Big contract for someone who hasn't shown a great deal. Apparently new coaching staff sees something we aren't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mention his career catches and ignore the fact Grant is a blazing fast special teams return man that was leading the NFL in kickoff returns last season prior to injury, and received All-Pro votes for that production. Ian's next story: "Fins punter has 0 TD passes, team signs him anyway." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
