The Miami Dolphins have signed defensive end
Charles Grant.
Terms of the deal were not released, but the Palm Beach Post reported
Wednesday that the contract is for two years and is worth $4.5 million.
Grant was released by the Saints following their Super Bowl run. The 31-year-
old veteran posted 5 1/2 sacks last season before suffering a triceps injury
in Week 17.
In eight seasons (118 games) with New Orleans, the 6-foot-3, 285-pounder
recorded 336 tackles, 47 sacks, and one interception.
Grant was originally selected with the 25th overall pick by the Saints in the
2002 draft.
Also on Friday, the team released guards Ray Feinga and Dimitri Tsoumpas and
announced the official signings of draft picks Jared Odrick and Koa Misi.
Odrick, a defensive end from Penn State, was selected in the first round of
April's draft. Misi, a linebacker out of Utah, was a second-round pick.
