Brent Grimes not expected back in ATL next season

[Dpantherman]

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.

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.

Before you get excited, I bolded and underlined that last sentence on purpose. If Grimes is out of their range, that should be a hint that he won't be in Carolina next season.

Is he good playing man? press?

I don't expect him to be here either, but it sure would be nice to weaken a division opponent while filling a position of dire need.

You bolded it on purpose? So much for the auto-bold I thought did all that.

[Dpantherman]

Its very easy to accidentally bold or underline, I've done it before. Thanks for your two cents though. ;)

Would love to pick him up, but there will be a bidding war for his services and we're not interested in that.

[SOJA]

I don't think he is worth the money

[jtnc]

Yes.

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

Draft rookie CB or pick up young proven highly talented CB? Hmmm.... But like it's been said before, it's all about the money.

[Dpantherman]

People are weary of Shula because of Alabama & Tampa bay. Thing is, hes running OUR scheme. Not theirs or his.

[OneBadassCat]

I don't think he's that impressive to warrant a bidding war.

[Zithers]

good

gtfo the division

Falcons will place the Franchise Tag on CB Brent Grimes.

Looks like he'll be in ATL next season after all.

good. he can continue to be overrated and now overpaid there.
