After spending eight seasons with the New Orleans Saints, defensive end Charles Grant was released last week.
Now Grant wants to make the Saints pay for that decision twice a year.
In an interview with Sirius NFL Radio, Grant named the Falcons and Panthers as teams he’d like to play for because, he says, he hopes to face the Saints twice a season. Grant also named the Titans, who could use a veteran defensive end after losing Kyle Vanden Bosch in free agency, as a team where he thinks he could fit.
Grant started all 16 games for the Saints in 2009 and said “I want to be a starter” in 2010.
One issue that could affect teams’ interest in Grant: Depending on the outcome of the Pat Williams/Kevin Williams case, Grant could be suspended four games in 2010 for taking StarCaps.
