[Aftermath]

I think the tenure of this front office has proven continuity and keeping the elements of this team together a priority, and I don't see TD abandoning his hand-picked option who did not play badly over cap money, which he controls.

I, too, think seeing all 3 back on the roster at CB would be very probable. Grimes got paid $10 million to sit the bench all year... if he wasn't willing to give us the home-team discount when he would likely not have a career if not for the Falcons, then his wife really has taken control of him.

I don;t think it is probable at all,and I really don;t think it is a good idea. That would make all 3 of our starting corners over the age of 30 and they would all be under contract for at least the next 2 years. Not to mention the fact that we would have over 20 million dollars invested in our CBs and probably over 35M invested in our secondary when Moore and Decoud are added in. Why I really dislike the idea of keeping Grimes, Asante and Dunta is because it will force McClain (the most promising young CB we have had on the roster in years) into the dimeback role and he would rarely see the field. We need to be trying to get younger and faster at CB, not progressively older and slower. Just my 2 cents.
