Dolphins Cut Brent Grimes Because of his Nutty Wife

[joeybee12]

The Miami Dolphins are planning to cut Brent Grimes at the start of the league year on Wednesday.

Typically, when you hear such things in the NFL it comes down to age or money. But it's not as if you can say that Grimes is exceptionally old (he turns 33 in July) or that he was compensated at a ridiculous rate, with an average salary of less than $8 million, placing him on the back end of the top 20 at the position.

But it appears that Miko Grimes, Brent's wife, is considered the problem in Miami. That's why the Dolphins are going to cut him, get hit with $3 million in dead money and swing a trade for one of the lowest-graded and most overpaid cornerbacks in the NFL last season in Byron Maxwell.

Is this unfair to say? The Dolphins don't believe so, and neither does the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero. Not after a social media torrent last season in which she took various Dolphins players to task, including quarterback Ryan Tannehill. She also was arrested before a game last season, and it resulted in several meetings between Brent Grimes and team officials over the past few years. After expressing their unhappiness with her, the Dolphins apparently have had enough.

Look Miko, your husband blew it against the Giants. Brent let Odell beat him 4 times. And those were key plays. Here is what she has to say:

4 catches: a LEGAL come back. an extreme push off catch bc Brent's closing speed is SICK! a 45yd pass in broken cov & a 6yd toe tapping TD

Miko Grimes ‏@iHeartMiko 8h8 hours ago
the best part about the game was the balls Eli DIDNT THROW! nfl never shows a break down of brent's film where the qb COULDNT throw the ball

Miko Grimes ‏@iHeartMiko 8h8 hours ago
so yes, we feel brent played a damn good game vs giants. OBJ is a very talented young wr and if it werent for the 45yd broken coverage play


But see Miko it wasn't just the Giants. Every top receiver went after him and won each time!!!

Good riddance by the way.

3. Just heard John Clayton on the radio in Seattle..

Apparently the Phins are still trying to see if he'll stay since Byron Maxwell didn't pass the physical.

4. Maxwell trade is complete

Grimes is a goner.

He refused to restructure his contract. He won't get what he wants on the open market anyway. Miko just makes it worse for him!
