Ryan Grant was one of the best bargains in the NFL this season.

The Green Bay Packers' halfback, picked up just before the start of the regular season in a trade for a sixth-round draft pick, gained 1,189 yards and averaged 5.4 yards per carry in the final 12 games of the season (playoffs included), and he did it while making the minimum salary for a first-year player of $310,000.

His rights belong to the Packers for two more years before he'll become a restricted free agent, but the Packers might consider rewarding him sooner for outperforming his contract and becoming their primary halfback, perhaps this offseason or sometime during the 2008 season.

Great move by the Pack, this dude is something special.

Absolutely, a fantastic signing. They definitely have found a winner in Grant. I wonder how much of a raise he's gonna get.

They went through how many backs before they found him..3-4? He should get knocked into a higher tax bracket next year.
