I like Grimes, but he is going to cost more than Timmy and a second.  We are hoping that's enough to dump Timmy for air.  Why would they add Grimes when they just paid assets for him?

I know you understand this, and it's not about Grimes, specifically, because I agree that he's maybe not so gettable. But, I think it's important for some reading to point out that "dumping Timmy for air" is probably going to be more difficult and cost more, asset wise, than trading him for another player, even some that we might get excited about. 

It seems like very, very few teams will be looking to just ADD big salary in this new cap world, and those who've positioned themselves to make offers like that to teams in need will probably charge a premium.
