The Miami Dolphins recently asked veteran cornerback Brent Grimes to take a paycut in order to remain with the team. Grimes declined and was subsequently released.
From the start of this situation, Miami Herald reporter Armando Salguero indicated the Dolphins’ motive for the move wasn’t about Grimes’ abilities on the field, but was more of a result of the erratic behavior of his wife, Miko, who has been drenched in controversy over the last year.
To be rid of Miko Grimes …That more than anything is reason Grimes is likely going. Not even a debate. https://t.co/I9nSwquorR

Brent Grimes is a good CB. Was last year. But the Dolphins trying to establish family culture and cannot have family ripping family.

Not only has Miko ripped Dolphins players on Twitter on a number of occasions, but she was also arrested outside of Sun Life Stadium last September for trespassing and had to be subdued by police.

As you can expect, Salguero’s report didn’t go over swimmingly with Miko, and she didn’t hold back in her response on Twitter. She even went as far as seemingly threatening to shoot Salguero. Here’s a loot at her incredibly NSFW tweets.

This is just a sample size of what you can expect to see if you follow Miko on Twitter, so it’s perfectly understandable why NFL front offices are apprehensive about signing her husband.
