Speedy WR Grant gets extension with Dolphins

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins have signed receiver/returner Jakeem Grant to a four-year extension, the team announced.

Terms were not disclosed, but sources confirmed to ESPN that the deal is worth up to $24 million.

Grant is one of the NFL's fastest players, and his speed figures to play a significant role in creating big plays for the Dolphins in 2019 and beyond.

Grant, a 2016 sixth-round pick, was set to be a free agent after this season. Now he's set to be under contract until 2023.

The diminutive (5-foot-6, 170 pounds) yet strong Grant made a name for himself early in his NFL career as a feared returner.
