{mod edit - direct quotes of pay sites not allowed. Must paraphrase. Basically it says that Grant and the Saints have quietly begun contract negotiations which shows that he has overcome his poor 2005 season performance. It is also listed as a rumor.}

Sign the man ...

Get. This. Done.

That's great to hear. Tells you what Payton thinks of Charles and his importance to this team.

nice............................

I like Payton's methods. He's not playing.

 

[dat dam dog]

That's great!

Maybe winning a few has resored his fire. I hope he keeps it up, this is his contract year so I think he will.

But more than that, I think winning is the fire many of these men need. You try harder if trying hard is working.

Not sure if that came out right, but I'd sure like to keep him.

I like the fact that they are not waiting.

As soon as they sign him to an extension, I'm buying a #94 jersey. He always been my favorite defensive player.

I don't like this. His mind needs to be on football, not his extension during the season. Let this work itself out after the seasons over.

Maybe we can use some of the extra cap room we have for this season in the deal to make the rest of the contract more resonable?

 

[Saint Tex]

Thanks for posting. I was just wondering about Grant and whether we would make attempts to keep him. This is good news.

 

[SpinnerSaint]

Awesome i hope we sign him before thanksgiving, he is my favorite defender. Besides Fujita of course.

 

[jazzjack]

Grant ed this needs to be done. Real time player and one of my favorites.

I understand your point; however, if we wait, it may be too late. So far, these contract talks have not adversely affected his play.

this is what i was thinking, i know we are under the cap now


and i assume thats what the eagles are doing and "thats who we strive to be"

anyone know when a current season\year's cap room expires? is it at seasons end or is their another cut off date?

by that i mean how long is our unused cap room availible to apply to this season


i do like the fact after the horrid year the org had last year he came in 30+ lbs lighter, he knows what he needs to do
