The Miami Dolphins and cornerback Brent Grimes have agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract, sources with knowledge of the team's plans told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Saturday. He'll receive $3 million guaranteed.
The Dolphins later confirmed Grimes has joined the team.
Grimes ranked No. 13 on Gregg Rosenthal's Top 85 free agents despite coming off a torn Achilles tendon. He'd been a staple in the Atlanta Falcons' defensive backfield, posted 13 interceptions between 2008 and 2011 and went to the Pro Bowl in 2010.
Few players are getting long-term contracts at this point, but Grimes' deal is better than what Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie got from the Denver Broncos (one-year, $4 million) and what Aqib Talib received from the New England Patriots (one-year, $5 million).
A healthy Grimes will be a Week 1 starter for the Dolphins.
