Newly-signed Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes has become known more for his significant other than for his play on the field.
His wife, Miko, was cited as a contributing factor to Grimes' release from the Miami Dolphins after multiple Twitter tirades against teammates, the organization, and beat writers.
Buccaneers legend Warren Sapp hopes those days are behind the Grimes family.
"I like the acquisition of Brent Grimes," Sapp told the Tampa Tribune. "I hope his old lady stays off Twitter and leaves people alone."
Grimes signed a reported two-year, $16.5-million contract with the Bucs in March following his release from Miami. He projects to be Tampa Bay's No. 1 cornerback in 2016.
