Charles Grant agrees to deal with Dolphins
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 28, 2010 9:57 PM ET
A tumultuous offseason for former Saints defensive end Charles Grant will end happily.

Steve Wyche of NFL Network reports that Grant agreed to a two-year deal with the Dolphins.  Grant was cut by the Saints back in March and has been recovering from a torn triceps.  There were whispers about his desire to play again, while an involuntary manslaughter charge was dropped against him Georgia.

(Oh, and the Starcaps case figures to hang over him until he can collect social security.)

In Grant, Miami adds yet another big body and more flexibility for their defensive line.  He doesn't figure to play every down and may not be a lock for the team, but he's an intriguing option to help stuff the run if healthy

Alternative title: Saints Grant Dolphins Defensive End

That would work, but it doesn't result in a double meaning for "Saint." 

He is not just a former player for NO, he has a troubled background including possibly killing a pregnant women and steroid use.   

My title make use of both meanings of not being a saint.

It's clumsy, though -- not your best work. I think the problem is in the "a Grant". Bit of a stretch...

Rewriting yours, what about "Dolphins receive Unsaintly Grant"?

"Dolphins receive Unsaintly Grant"?

I like. 

My original thought was "Dolphins a get DE, Grant[ed] he's NO Saint".  But I thought adding the "[ed]" was pushing it too far.
