NFL expert talks about Jakeem Grant future in the NFL
NFL.com Reporter Tom Pelissero made a list of free agents who could get paid more than we think. One of the players that piqued my interest was return-man specialist Jakeem Grant.
He mentioned in the article that he believes Grant could receive an offer of over $5 million a year, which would make Grant the NFL's highest-paid pure return specialist.
During the middle of last season, the Bears made a trade to acquire punt return specialist Jakeem Grant. They gave up a 6th round pick to get his services. They thought they would get in return a reliable punt and kickoff returner. Chicago ended up getting much more than that. Grant made a huge impact on the field immediately. His amazing play earned him a spot in the 2022 Pro Bowl.
Grant led the NFL in average punt return yards, had an amazing punt return touchdown against the Green Bay Packers and he also added two other touchdowns on offense. He was truly a do-it-all guy for the Bears.
When asked by the Chicago Times if he wanted to come back to Chicago for next season, Grant was very clear that he was willing to. He said:" If the chips fall right, I'll be back in Chicago". He also added that he hoped his play on both special team and offense caught the new coaching staff's attention. Grant then finished up by saying that he believes he would be a great fit for new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy's offense.
It will be interesting to see if Ryan Poles does offer the speedy player an offer of $5 annually.
