Brent Grimes - DB - Dolphins

According to the Miami Herald, "nobody was more impressive" in Dolphins OTAs than Brent Grimes, who showed "no ill effects" from his torn Achilles' tendon.

Per reporter Barry Jackson, Grimes' showing is one reason the Dolphins feel "much" better about their cornerback situation than they did at the end of 2012. According to Jackson, Grimes "surpassed the Dolphins’ expectations," and has displayed a "knack for knocking away passes and not allowing Mike Wallace to dominate when they were matched up." Grimes will have to live up to his offseason hype for the Dolphins to adequately replace Sean Smith.

Brent Grimes - DB - Dolphins

Dolphins CB Brent Grimes says he's "fully back" from his torn Achilles' tendon.

Grimes is confirming what the Miami Herald reported late last month. The Dolphins can only hope it's an accurate assessment, as they'll be in major trouble if Grimes doesn't return to at least some approximation of his pre-injury form. GM Jeff Ireland's extravagantly-expensive master plan has little room for error, and will depend on extremely good injury fortune.

Brent Grimes - DB - Dolphins

Dolphins CB Brent Grimes (Achilles' surgery) is working with the first-team defense at OTAs.

Per the Miami Herald, Grimes is "looking fully recovered," despite getting beat on a deep bomb by Armon Binns. He's manning left corner with Richard Marshall stationed on the right. Rookie Jamar Taylor will compete for nickel duties once he's recovered from sports hernia surgery. The Dolphins will have more talent in their secondary this year, but the group is littered with question marks.

New Dolphins CB Brent Grimes (Achilles) remains on pace to be ready for training camp.

Grimes isn't putting a percentage on his recovery, but says he's "feeling good" and "being smart" in his rehab. Grimes will be 364 days removed from his injury when the Dolphins take on the Browns in Week 1.

Brent Grimes - DB - Dolphins

Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland told reporters Thursday that CB Brent Grimes (Achilles' surgery) is far enough along that he's "close" to being a participant in the club's offseason conditioning program.

Assuming Ireland's words can be taken at face value, Grimes should be all systems go before training camp. "He’s doing really well," said Ireland. "He’s almost to the point where he’s ready to participate in the offseason conditioning program." The Dolphins are counting on Grimes to be a starter this year.

Brent Grimes - DB - Dolphins

Dolphins signed CB Brent Grimes to a one-year, $5.5 million contract.

The best remaining free agent cornerback is now off the board. Despite turning 30 later this year and coming off a torn Achilles' tendon, Grimes actually got one of the better contracts in this year's pathetic cornerback market. (To no one's surprise, the Dolphins paid above market value -- again.) The deal includes $3 million in guaranteed money. When healthy, Grimes is one of the league's better cover corners and is a much needed upgrade for a Dolphins secondary that ranked 27th against the pass in 2012.

Brent Grimes - DB - Dolphins

According to the Miami Herald, free agent Brent Grimes "remains on the radar" for the Dolphins, but "they're not breaking the bank for the guy."

Only the Dolphins, Browns, and perhaps Falcons appear to be in the mix for Grimes at this point. The Buccaneers have dropped out of the hunt. Per the Herald's Armando Salguero, the Fins "have some confidence" they'll win the Grimes sweepstakes, and the sides are "slowly" trying to make a deal happen.

Brent Grimes - DB - Dolphins

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Dolphins are "very much in on" free agent CB Brent Grimes, and he "could land there soon."

La Canfora doesn't add much new to what has already been reported, but GM Jeff Ireland knows he needs cornerback help badly. Look for Grimes to have a home sometime soon. He's arguably the top free agent left.

Free agent CB Brent Grimes is not expected to land with the Buccaneers.

Bucs beat writer Rick Stroud expects Grimes -- the top cornerback left on the free-agent market -- to head to Cleveland or Miami. Last week, the Browns were reported to have offered Grimes a multi-year contract. Details of the Dolphins' offer, assuming they've made one at all, are unclear at this time.

Brent Grimes - DB - Dolphins

The Dolphins are "still in the mix" for free agent CB Brent Grimes.

Grimes visited the Dolphins on the fourth day of free agency, but talks have been slow developing. He'll be a complicated signing because of his recovery from a torn Achilles' tendon. If healthy, however, Grimes would be the strongest possible replacement for Sean Smith.

Brent Grimes - DB - Dolphins

ProFootballTalk.com has been told that the Bucs and Dolphins are interested in free agent CB Brent Grimes.

The Bucs are "talking" with Grimes, who is a backup plan to the sputtering Darrelle Revis trade. The Dolphins, meanwhile, have two glaring cornerback holes after trading Vontae Davis last season and letting free agent Sean Smith walk. Both teams need to be wary of Grimes' health as he is just six months removed from an Achilles' rupture. Lions RB Mikel Leshoure needed more than a year of rehab before returning to the field.

Free agent CB Brent Grimes is expected to begin "narrowing his choices" in the coming days.

Grimes visited the Browns over the weekend, and reportedly came away "impressed." He must not have been overly impressed with their offer, however, otherwise he'd already be signed. Grimes has also visited the Dolphins, and drew early interest from the Rams and Bucs. It's still possible, perhaps even likely, he re-signs with the Falcons.

The Redskins are not in the bidding for free agent CB Brent Grimes because he is "too expensive."

Grimes visited the Dolphins on Friday and the Browns on Saturday, although no contract is believed to be imminent. We suspect Atlanta remains in the running for Grimes after releasing Dunta Robinson. The Falcons' top cornerbacks would be Asante Samuel and nickel back Robert McClain if the season started today.

Free agent CB Brent Grimes (Achilles' surgery) is not expected to sign with the Dolphins.

Grimes visited the Dolphins on Friday and Browns on Saturday. A source tells the Palm Beach Post that Grimes isn't considering signing with Miami "or any other team" at this time. It's possible he's simply not yet close to 100 percent.
