From PFT:
With the Brett Favre fiasco on full boil, the Packers found a way to take care of some other business on Saturday, working out a new contract with running back Ryan Grant.
Per Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com, the Packers and Grant have agreed to terms. The terms, however, are not yet known.
Grant reportedly wanted $40 million over six years. The Packers reportedly offered a six-year package that included $1.75 million in bonuses and paid out only $4.5 million over the first two years.
Grant had little leverage, given his status as an exclusive rights free agent. But he apparently has parlayed seven starts in 2007 and 956 yards rushing into some long-term security.
