Falcons prepared to move on without Grimes

[jonathanlambert33]

Our Falcons sources expect CB Brent Grimes, who is due to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, to be playing for a different team next season.
Grimes, who underwent knee surgery in late November, missed four of the final five games of the regular season as he recovered from the procedure. He practiced on a limited basis two days prior to the Falcons' playoff loss to the Giants, though. The team was expecting him to suit up vs. the Giants, but he was added to the list of inactives the morning of the game and we hear some inside the organization were very surprised, and disappointed, that he didn't play.
However, the Falcons were encouraged by the performance of CBs Dominique Franks and Chris Owens down the stretch, and the team will be looking to have the cap flexibility to re-sign some of its other core players. We hear that Grimes, the team's top corner, is likely to price himself out of the team's range.

Words cannot describe how dumb of a move this would be for the Falcons.

Good.

Come on down to Jacksonville.

 

[Lake Louise]

On one hand it's good to keep prepared in case he goes somewhere else, but he's a core player you'd think they'd want to keep.

Carolina needs a corner and has the money. Sign him Marty!!!

Then we can draft Reiff or Floyd.
