Grimes leaning towards Miami?
By Tim Kavanagh | ESPN.com
The pursuit of free agent CB Brent Grimes has had a number of twists and turns. At first, it seemed like he would be back with Atlanta, then the Miami Dolphins emerged, then the Cleveland Browns appeared to have an edge based on their willingness to offer a multi-year deal. But as the days lingered with that reported deal still on the table, there was skepticism that he'd go to Cleveland, while another report indicated that Miami was definitely still in the mix.

As of Wednesday night, it appears that Grimes may actually now be leaning towards Miami. From Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports: "Dolphins still not done in free agency - very much in on CB Brent Grimes, who played on franchise tag in '12. could land there soon."

The use of the word "could" obviously gives this an air of not being a done deal yet. But it appears that things are starting to wrap up on this front.

Pass.

It would go completely against Ireland's MO. That said, I'd love the signing. Very good, young player. The injury is a little bit of a concern, but he's a nice scheme fit and should be relatively affordable on a short term deal.

Even if he passes his physical, looks good in his drills, and is willing to sign for cheap?

Since the draft is rich with DB's, we can try to attempt another VD/Smith situation.

It's time to go young via the draft. If they want another average, veteran player with some injury history they have that on the roster already.

That is all the Dolphins have done in FA, go young. I think we all expect the Dolphins to take multiple CB's in this draft. Grimes is not a relic, as he is 29 and will turn 30 in July. The Dolphins could use a veteran presence and Grimes is still a solid CB.

Agreed. One solid veteran CB to start the year and draft two young guys to groom. If the reports are true, Grimes would be just that, a 1 year bandaid. I don't see why people would object to that -- it's just smart to hedge your bets.
