If you think that then you don't clearly understand NFL economics. If Grant is traded then all of the guaranteed money in his contract becomes due at the time of the trade. It'll wreck the Saints salary cap.

Grant will definitely be around until at least year 4 of the contract. He's not going anywhere.

BTW the cap hit is the same reason that Chad Johnson isn't going anywhere either. The Bengals would be better off letting Chad ride the pine for a year and not pay him than to trade him. They have already paid dude $26 million in bonuses in the last three years that would be a cap hit if they traded him. So he can whine until the cows come home, but next year he can play for the Bengals or sit at home. His choice.

There is a cost to getting big contract money up front. You have it. But you're stuck.
