#Falcons CB Brent Grimes is coming back for another year. — D. Orlando Ledbetter (@AJCFalcons) March 13, 2013 The Atlanta Falcons' Grimes was turning into one of the top corners in the league, and they he got hurt last year (achilles injury). It was believed that he could come at a serious discount and even be willing to accept a one year deal. Well, he did sign a one year deal, but with the Falcons again. It would've been a steal if the Patriots had been able to pick him up but they either weren't interested or Grimes just wanted to return to Atlanta. He was number two on our top 5 free-agent cornerbacks.
