A league source tells us that the contract extension signed by Browns defensive coordinator Todd Grantham with the Cleveland Browns will pay him $1 million per year.

That's not a bad chunk of change for a guy who works under a head coach who is a defensive specialist, and who presides over a generally crappy defense.

The move also is causing raised eyebrows among league insiders because Grantham is represented by Neil Cornrich, who also happens to represent Browns General Manager Phil Savage. So, to the extent that Savage was the person in charge of the deal, an agent was negotiating with one of his clients about another client. So Cornrich had a duty to get the best possible deal for one of his clients -- even if it meant creating the perception that his other client got raked over the coals.

So, in other words, it's another example of the kind of conflict of interest that the NFL needs to eliminate.
