The Facts:
Grant, who was to earn $3.5 million in base salary for 2011, had his base salary cut to $2.5 million earlier this month, a source confirmed. Grant’s salary cap number has been trimmed from $5.65 million to roughly $3.87 million.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Sidelineview.com's Adam Caplain noted, at least one local observer believes RB Dimitri Nance could push Grant off the roster this season. The question now becomes whether the pay cut changes anything we've learned today. The short answer is no. Indeed, as Profootballtalk.com's Gregg Rosenthal suggests, if Grant wasn’t willing to take the reduction, he would likely be an ex-Packer already. At this point, the sudden burst of smoke today makes it clear there's a fire. Should Grant be released, second-year RB James Starks figures to have the best chance to start, with Nance and rookie Alex Green also pushing for carries and snaps. ... We'll suggest this Friday's game against the Colts could be of great importance to Grant.
