The Grimes interest could be incoming, not because of him being shopped, I guess.
Then again, he didn't accept their extension offer. If that was as high as they're willing to go, and they know they won't match what they believe he's likely to be offered this summer...I can see it, especially if they're starting to question whether this team will be healthy enough to contend this year.
It would be a fascinating development to see them suddenly become sellers and stockpile draft capital in what appear to be two back to back stacked draft classes. I don’t think it’ll happen, but they also have to contend with a bunch of guys needing new contracts and apron ramifications. It’s just amazing having a FO that is merely capable of seeing a few moves ahead. I trust them to get it right, just need Kidd’s buy-in. The coach is always the last to concede. Not saying we are there yet, but it’s an interesting development that we are even having the conversation.
