The New Orleans Saints signed former Wyoming defensive end Carl Granderson following the 2019 NFL Draft, guaranteeing him $70,000 and a $15,000 signing bonus — high numbers for an undrafted free agent. Granderson’s signing and contract details were first reported by Rod Walker of the Advocate, and confirmed by Josh Katzenstein of the Times-Picayune.
Granderson was projected to be a mid-round draft pick and was considered Wyoming’s top prospect, but ended up not being selected. That could be due to his looming jury trial surrounding one count of third-degree sexual assault and one count of sexual battery against two alleged victims.
