beardown3231 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) I like this deal a lot. Grant can fly & Webster is an absolute nobody returning punts. If he holds onto the ball, he's a weapon Edited October 5, 2021 by beardown3231 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved to see an RB that could return instead, but not sure there was anyone like that available. Guess I gotta watch some highlights.

G08 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Love Jakeem Grant, he can flat-out f-l-y. Hope he gets some burn on offense as well, just has to catch the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Can he return punts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Guess this answer my question. They got him to replace Nsimba Webster and because Cohen is nowhere near ready to play. Bears trade for Dolphins returner Jakeem Grant The Bears are sending a 2023 sixth-round pick to the Dolphins for Jakeem Grant, a second-team all-pro punt returner last season, a source confirmed Tuesday morning. By Patrick Finley Oct 5, 2021, 9:38am CDT The Bears traded for Dolphins returner Jakeem Grant on Tuesday. Lynne Sladky, AP Photos The Bears are sending a 2023 sixth-round pick to the Dolphins for Jakeem Grant, a second-team all-pro punt returner last season, a source said Tuesday morning. He figures to return punts and kicks for the Bears. Khalil Herbert, the team’s kick returner, set to help out in the Bears’ backfield with David Montgomery injured. In six seasons with the Dolphins, Grant averaged 24.8 yards per kick return over 89 returns, along with two touchdowns. He figures to push aside punt returner Nsimba Webster, who muffed a kick in Week 3. Grant has scored three touchdowns in 101 career punt returns, during which he averaged 9.7 yards. Tarik Cohen has been out more than a year since tearing his ACL returning a punt against the Falcons. He is on the physically unable to perform list and does not appear close to returning to game action. The Bears claimed Webster off waivers from the 49ers at the end of the preseason after not being able to find a punt returner during the exhibition season. Grant could play a role in the pass game, too, but it would likely be a small one. He has only two catches this year for -7 yards. He has 91 catches for 1,001 yards and five touchdowns in his career. The Bears have gotten little production outside their top two receivers — Marquise Goodwin has five catches on the season and Damiere Byrd has three — but Grant doesn’t seem to be a serious threat to take either of their jobs.

Madmike90 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 This is a quality move for us that will massively help on teams...I don't expect much on offence but if he is good for a few quality returns then a 6th in 23 is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Love this. He was one I had in a few mocks as a returner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
