Haslett says: Cie Grant is the clear starter entering camp.

Arriving late for camp didn't dislodge him. Neither did injury.

Despite all of that, Ohio State product Cie Grant still has the full support of New Orleans Saints coach Jim Haslett - a former All-Pro linebacker with Buffalo.

Grant, a third-round pick in 2003, got behind during his rookie season - and never caught up.

"The problem he had last year is he couldn't be here in the offseason because of the four-quarter rule - and he got behind," Haslett said. "He never made any of the offseason programs because he had to stay in school - and, for a linebacker, it's probably devastating if you aren't here learning the defense when everyone else is here."
