    I'm sure this makes me a naive nonmoneyball dinosaur, but I like the idea of rewarding a guy who actually played well for us with a nice contract, when we have plenty of cap room.

    I'd rather give that same money to a guy like Alterraun Verner who is just as good. And younger.

    IMO It sends a good message. A top player who has been here through this fiasco is staying by his iwn free will.

    Well if we get a deal done.

    Why would Tenn allow him to hit the open market?

    They are already paying Jason McCourty and don't feel Verner is worth the tag. He wants to test the market he's said.

    Good point. If Verner gets a contract worthy of his talent it could match what McCourty is getting, and that would be a lot to have tied up in your starting corners.

    I hear ya. Going younger can be appealing but I didn't follow Verner's 2013 season. Also don't know if he's an off corner or not. But I dd see Grimes and know he can play in coyle's scheme. Sometimes you gotta love the one you're with.

    He was just as good or better than Grimes was. I think he'd fit well.

    Good at what? Not being argumentative but there's a difference between being a top man/press corner and a cb who can flourish in man & zone. Everyone can't do both. And I'm not saying I like coyle's scheme, but that's who we're stuck with. IMO contract-wise Verner will receive a bigger one than Grimes. You don't pay someone shutdown cb money for a zone scheme. Look at what Lovie is trying to do with revis.

    @RapSheet 1m Source: #Dolphins and CB Brent Grimes are closing in on a deal to keep him in Miami without the franchise tag. Could happen very quickly
