We mentioned earlier this offseason that the Packers would have a decision to make on Ryan Grant when the lockout ends, because he has a roster bonus early in the league year and a reasonably high salary.

We guessed back then the decision would not be a difficult one, with Grant likely to stay. Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay-Press Gazette writes that all signs point to Grant returning to the squad.

Packers brass have openly said Grant and James Starks will share the workload. Rookie third-round pick Alex Green could be the third down back, and its possible the team will re-sign Brandon Jackson.

Grant is set to make $5.25 million in the final year of his contract. 2011 may be his final season in Green Bay, but thats a fair number to pay a player with his talent and experience when you are gunning for a Super Bowl repeat.

I don't think there's much chance Ryan Grant doesn't play for the Packers in '11.

Good to know. I'd love to see another 1.200 yd season out of him. Sharing the workload with Starks will probably decrease his numbers though.

No doubt Grant will be back, B-Jax on the other hand...his days appear to be numbered.

I went back and watched the film of week 1 against Philly and Grant actually looked good. He didn't have to cut or see holes, he was just squirting through the line and getting great yardage. Dunno if he's developed to something more than he was, but it should be fun to watch him compete with the younger guys. Another great problem to have.
