Any kick becomes dead if a FC signal has been given and R possesses the ball. It does not matter if it is grounded or not.

Not at all. All the FC signal does is allow that person protection from being hit after they catch the ball. It is not illegal to give the signal and not catch the ball. And think about it why would it be? What if he just could not catch the ball because it was not catchable from his position? That is not a penalty. The "penalty" is that his team cannot advance the ball.
