The NFL Network is reporting the San Diego Chargers have re-signed backup running back Michael Turner to a one-year, $2.35 million contract. Fear not Buffalo or Green Bay fans, Turner can still be had through a trade either on or after draft day. This is just paperwork and a formality, which had to get done because Turner needed a contract for ’07.
In other NFL news, FOXSports.com is reporting the New Orleans Saints re-signed defensive end Charles Grant to a monster seven-year deal, worth up to $63 million including $22 million in guarantees. Grant is now one of the highest paid defensive ends in the league, which he certainly isn’t, but that’s just the way the market is right now. He is a solid run defender however, and now the Saints don’t have to worry about filling his position with a high pick in the draft.
