Per Mile High Sports’ Benjamin Allbright, the Los Angeles Rams are a “potential landing spot” for former Washington Redskins WR Ryan Grant:
WR Ryan Grant, who “failed a physical” despite never missing a game in four years in the NFL, has several suitors.
Colts first.
Other potential landing spots include (but not limited to) the Rams.

Grant’s saga in free agency made headlines this week when his apparent signing of a four-year, $29m deal with the Baltimore Ravens was scrapped due to a failed physical despite playing all 16 games in 2017 (and not missing a single game in his NFL career to date).
Allbright’s “Colts first” allusion would indicate an in-person visit for Grant to head to Indianapolis. Timetables on these kinds of things are cloudy at best once you get past the first wave of free agency so who knows what this really means for the weekend schedule.
In any case between this rumor and the recent grumbling of the Rams’ interest in former Washington and Cleveland Browns WR Terrelle Pryor, I think it’s fair to say the Rams are interested in staffing up the WR depth chart in the absence of WR Sammy Watkins who signed a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs this week.
