On May 16, 2006, the Atlanta Falcons signed Grimes to three-year, $1.08 million contract after he went undrafted in the 2006 NFL draft.[2]

During training camp, Grimes competed for a roster spot as a backup cornerback and special teams player. He competed against Chris Cash, Allen Rossum, and Omare Lowe before sustaining a groin injury. He was subsequently waived by the Atlanta Falcons during training camp.[2]

2007 edit

On January 10, 2007, the Atlanta Falcons signed Grimes to a reserve/futures contract and immediately allocated him to play overseas in NFL Europa.[2] Grimes was initially acquired by the Amsterdam Admirals before becoming a part of the Rhein Fire and then joined the Hamburg Sea Devils.[3][4] He started at cornerback for the Sea Devils and helped them achieve a 7–3 record and finish first in their division.

2016 edit

On March 7, 2016, Grimes was cut by the Dolphins after he refused to restructure his contract.[78] Miami Dolphins' owner Stephen M. Ross later stated Grimes was released, in part, due to his wife's distracting behavior. His wife had multiple incidents during Grimes' tenure with the Miami Dolphins. Miko Grimes was arrested outside of Sun Life Stadium in September, threatened a Miami Herald reporter over a story questioning Grimes' future with the Dolphins, and publicly criticized quarterback Ryan Tannehill's performance. Regarding Ryan Tannehill, she posted on Twitter, "I knew this qb stunk the minute we signed to this team." Grimes later apologized to Tannehill and stated multiple times to the media his wife's thoughts are her own.[79] After signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his wife made a post on Instagram where she described the Miami Dolphins as "the dumpster fire of the AFC East."[80]
