The New Orleans Saints are signing defensive end Carl Granderson to a four-year, $52 million contract extension that includes $35.3 million in guarantees, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
This is a major leap from Granderson's current deal, a two-year contract worth $5.2 million with just $240,000 guaranteed.
Granderson was a rotational defensive lineman from 2019-2022 before he won the starting job over Payton Turner in training camp this season. Granderson has started two games in 2023, with 2.5 sacks, five total tackles, seven pressures and a forced fumble for the 2-0 Saints.
