Grimes' agent is his wife according to what I read on FH. She sounds like a real firecracker and not someone you'd want to get on the bad side of.
That would be a great signing. I'd be fine with Grimes and a rookie manning the sidelines. Draft Cyprien to learn under Clemons and our Secondary would be set.
I'd love to see us sign Grimes, and then also Adam Jones. Jones was PFF's 6th rated corner for pass coverage in '12 and Grimes was their 3rd overall and 3rd in coverage in 2011.
land grimes and we finally fill another pre-existing hole..( Wallace @ WR )..... these replacement players (Ellerbe,Wheeler,Gibson,Keller) while improvements long term.... are lateral moves intended to replace team leaders we're dropping right now. You might say he'd be replacing smith, but there was a pre-existing hole at CB. If we can manage Grimes and Long... than you can start talking about having a good free agency. I love the cap work thus far though.
If we land grimes me initial thinking for cb could come true. Grimes at cb #1 draft banks for #2 and honey badger in the slot. How good would that look with jones and Clemons on our back end.
I went to UD w/Silva's younger brother. IIRC their family was from St. Louis - he might hate Miami even more if we get Jake back. We already have Gibson in the fold.
If true you can search back to where I was the first one on here a while back saying we needed to get Grimes. I will be a very happy camper.
University of Dayton. Which will be rocking this weekend. The school had to take out "accidental death" insurance for St. Patrick's Day last year. The size of campus usually grows from about 8,000 to 18,000+. Nothing like a good party in the "Ghetto" or in the "Darkside" (the two student neighborhoods).
What Time ? It's been a few days. You realize.... your saying there was a time to proclaim we were having success in free agency but that time has passed. You changed your mind already ?,.....or totally mis-understood me.
We don't need the signings of Grimes or Long to proclaim success in FA. We've already succeeded with more success to come imo.
Coming from an Ireland disliker, someone should start a thread thanking the guy. Even if it all goes bad, god is it great to feel alive again. For all intensive purposes, we've been dead for a long time now. Thank you, Jeff. Will it work? The cards have already been dealt. The flop, turn and river are written in the stars come break or bank. But for the 1st time since I can remember, I feel like we're all in with bullets.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP Source close to Brent Grimes says "There was no expectation of Brent signing with Miami or any other team at this time."
I would love me some Grimes and Rhodes...sounds like a law firm.... Seriously though after Long comes back, they might only have just enough for Grimes on a low cost contract....
I think Adam Jones would be a fine addition as the Nickel Corner given what he has done in recent years (yes the PFF rating is a testament). Grimes would be a great signing and I hear he is in Miami as we speak, but who knows. Jets fan on another forum said the following: "Seriously? They must be taking everyone who visits to King of Diamonds or something. What's the cap situation like now?" I cracked up lol..
I'd be very happy if we grabbed Grimes and Long to finish the FA. Really liking the direction this team is heading. That'd leave me with a pretty wide open mind for the draft.
My only concern are injuries, looking over his numbers I see that not only did he miss most of last season but four games as well in 2011, not sure what that injury was, if it was an injury that held him out.
