New Orleans Saints defensive end Carl Granderson has signed a four-year contract extension. Granderson is in his fifth NFL season and first as a full-time starter after beating out 2021 first-round draft choice Payton Turner.
The former Wyoming standout has played in 56 NFL games in his career with nine starts. He has 17 career sacks, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a blocked field goal.
Last season, he played in all 16 games with four starts and had a career-high 5 1/2 sacks. That season, he played behind Marcus Davenport, who left for Minnesota in free agency. Granderson played four seasons at Wyoming, where he had 16 1/2 sacks, three forced fumbles, three interceptions and a fumble recovery. He went undrafted after two women accused him of unwanted sexual contact at his Laramie, Wyoming, apartment in November 2018.
Granderson was placed on six months probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of sexual battery and unlawful contact.The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
