According to the latest reports, although Brent Grimes is looking for a new team to sign with, at least three coaches have told a journalist at the Bleacher Report that they don’t want to give him a chance because they feel his wife would be a distraction to the team.

Grimes’ wife, Miko, is a total loose cannon. She has been known to threaten reporters on Twitter and make comments about players that lead to tension in the locker room. On Thursday, Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole said he was told by three NFL general managers that they are not interested in Brent because of Miko.
“Miko Grimes was primarily the reason why the Dolphins asked (Brent) to take a pay cut and ultimately cut him,” Cole said. “Miko Grimes has made threats toward reporters and did again on Wednesday after her husband was cut.”
Earlier this week, Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald reported that the Dolphins were looking to trade Grimes rather than release him, but they had trouble finding takers because of his wife. Miko later went off on Salguero and threatened him in a series of tweets.
Miko never apologizes for speaking her mind, but she has been a distraction on numerous occasions, like when she went off on Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill last season. And it’s not just her controversial tweets — Miko was also arrested for battery and resisting arrest before a game. It’s no surprise that teams don’t think dealing with her is worth it to sign a cornerback who will be 33 next season.
She’s a nut. I don’t know if she put a root on this man or not, but no matter how much trouble she causes him, he’s loyal to her. But he will be forced out of the league and they will end up on some reality show just trying to survive in about five years. Mark my words.
This b-tch been crazy. That’s why his a-s can’t find a team to stay on longer than a couple of years. When you get to be a housewife you don’t f-ck up the income that made that sh-t possible. She’s dumb as f-ck.
She is a hot a-s, loud-mouthed mess! Based on what I’ve seen of her antics she’s going to cost both of them his livelihood!
lmao i follow her on twitter and she’s a hoot
I’m very familiar with Miko. I couldn’t stand her when Brent was on the Falcons. She’s nothing but drama. And he will be kicked out the league because of her soon enough.
She must wear the pants in this relationship.
Well he is a freaking fool if he allows her to ruin his opportunity.
This chick is a legend. Cray as hell. But I’m starting to think she may suffer from mental illness.
