His stats on PFF were nearly twice as good as Dunta's, who's getting paid $9.5M/yr and now Jonathan Joseph is getting $9.7M/yr. The owners/GM's/coaches in this league KNOW Grimes is good and they don't give a shit about his size. They have people who run the same kinda stat research as PFF.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, then please go search the forums for the couple posts that has all these PFF stats I'm talking about before you comment again. He's not going to get a long-term contract for $3M/yr because he's short. That's ridiculous.

If hes so hot, why isn't he gone???? Its what happens in the first days, Dahl and Clabo are gone and I think Grimes is TONS better then they are as players in their positions. the Problem is there are a Glut of Good players around, GMs can be picky. I hope Grimes gets a ton, but look at Nnamdi people have talking about him since the start. I've heard Crickets on Grimes. I know hes top 5, to me hes like Ronde Barber, bout same size and the way they play. I'm hoping he gets higher then 3, and by US. If you don't think the other GMs dont think about things like that your crazy.

Grimes will play hard this year to guarantee a huge check next year.

Honestly this is great to finally hear some falcons signing some FA's. Although I agree with Peyton that if Grimes is willing to take the 3 mil this coming year and next year get the long over due big contract I think it works great.

The biggest reason is the 1st round draft pick price.

Err, because he's a restricted FA and has got a 1st round tender on him. And Clabo isn't "gone", we re-signed him.

I'm thinking it was futile to engage with you. Obviously you're not on top of what's going on.

I didn't mean gone from us, was higher on the list then Grimes as far as To-do list. I knew he was a RFA. My mistake.
