The Miami Dolphins have officially announced the release of Pro Bowl cornerback Brent Grimes.
Reports yesterday indicated the Dolphins were planning to release cornerback Brent Grimes once the league year changed at 4pm Eastern time today. And, that is exactly what the club did, announcing the roster move exactly at 4pm. Grimes is now a free agent.
Grimes signed with the Dolphins in 2013 as a free agent from the Atlanta Falcons. He re-signed with the team on a four-year contract in 2014, paying him an average of $8 million per year, with $16 million guaranteed. He is scheduled to account for $9.
