After failed physical with Ravens, Ryan Grant en route to Indianapolis

[shasta519]

That sucks for him...he was going to get paid. BAL caught a break here.

 

But why would the Colts want him if he's not healthy.

[stitches]

Is he a slot? His production is worthy of a contract more in the realm of what Kamar Aiken got, not a 4/30 with 15M guaranteed...

He’s never missed a game. Ravens just wanted out of that deal after Crabtree was released. He’s heakthy BUT I get the joke

 

There could be some truth to that. That deal looked desperate and bad the moment it was announced. 

[Flash7]

Given that he's healthy, how good is Ryan Grant?

[bananabucket]

Grant is a JAG, which is fine,  but we sure as hell better not give him anywhere near the contract Baltimore was going to give him.

Is he a possession receiver or a #2 receiver?

Here's an article from Baltimore writer selling Grant to their fans. Says he can be #2. Says he has great hands and runs crisp routes...

It's one or the other?

 

You can't be....   both?

at this point, a blow up doll would be more help to TY than Moncreif and Aiken 

What kind of freaky locker room environment are they having there on 56th Street?

[Indyfan4life]

I'm willing to bet he only "failed" the physical because Crabtree was released. Otherwise he'd be in Baltimore.

When Colts physicians check him out, he'll pass. Dr. Robert Anderson (I heard) has already cleared him.

Crisp routes can get you separation. His speed is in line with Julian Edleman, and slightly quicker then Wes Welker produced.

When Reggie Wayne was playing with Luck, he was our possession receiver and our #1. You certainly can be both.

Could be the reason the fans suffered through a 4-12 season

A possession receiver, a quicker Griff Whalen with slightly better hands, I can almost say he is as quick as Julian Edelman is in the slot. Deceptively quick to get open. However, if a coverage gets blown, is smart enough to place himself in vacant zones to give QB easy target.

[John Waylon]

NB4 Mike Florio starts crying for rule changes because of this. 

[shasta519]

Do not want. This is basically Kamar Aiken redux. And he's going to cost twice as much for twice as long. Plus, he apparently has an injury, so his best ability (has played every game) is now in question.

[TKnight24]

All signs point to Baltimore being a classless organization in this situation. Every report I’m posting and seeing says the injury wasn’t an issue until the Crabtree news broke. Instead of manning up and saying they didn’t want him, they faked the failed physical story 

 

NFL is a business at the end of the day, a very dirty business

If the Colts clear him, does he have any recourse against BAL? Or is getting cleared a subjective thing?

I think Griff Whalen is a poor comp.  Grant is viewed as a WR2 or WR3.    Whalen will never be either of those.   He's a 4 or 5.

I think we get enamored with the big wide outs that cannot get open or think they can make it with their athletic ability. It is time we go back to basics and route running that flourished during the Peyton era.

[JColts72]

Failed physical, small WR, will not be productive. Sounds like someone Ballard plans to get with his cheap tightwad approach to FA.

I knew that once I typed it. Edelman like quickness underneath is more apt.

Its a one or the other question. Possession or #2 was the question.
