Browns Renegotiate Deal Of WR Jakeem Grant
Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

According to Field Yates, the Browns have renegotiated their deal with WR Jakeem Grant in order to reduce his salary cap hit by $1.765 million in 2023.

Grant, 30, is a former sixth-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.48 million rookie contract when the Dolphins signed him to a four-year extension worth up to $24 million in 2019. 

Miami restructured that contract entering the 2021 season before he was acquired by the Bears in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round draft pick. 

He was testing the free agent market last offseason when he signed a three-year, $13.8 million deal with Cleveland. However, he suffered a torn Achilles’ back in August and missed the entire 2022 season.

In 2021, Grant appeared in four games for the Dolphins and 11 games for the Bears, recording 11 receptions for 132 yards (12.0 YPC) and two touchdowns, to go along with five rushing attempts for 33 yards. He also recorded 539 kickoff return yards and 309 put return yards and a touchdown.
