I was reading he's due to make an extra million on the 15th day of the league year, additional to his 5.5 million salary.

6.5 seems kind of a lot for Ryan Grant. I know he adds 1,200 yards rushing and good for maybe half dozen scores ... I suppose with the cap projected to being 163 million that's not too bad.

I dunno ... feels a bit much.

Thanks for the contract info, Zero. That is a lot of money, and it is debatable whether he is worth that much. I don't think it is an outrageous amount for a productive starting RB, though, and Ted should honor the contract.

I hadn't realized that Grant is going into a contract year. He should be highly motivated.
