On March 9, the Miami Dolphins put out a boilerplate press release announcing that the team had released cornerback Brent Grimes, who reached the Pro Bowl in each of his three seasons in Miami.

"I think everybody knows what she represented," Ross said, per Andrew Abramson of the Palm Beach Post."I thought it was best that the Dolphins move on from Brent and Miko."

It's rare that a spouse gets a mention like that. But she brought drama and unpredictability, something the Dolphins really didn't need in the wake of the bullying scandal involving former offensive linemen Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin.

After his release, the Buccaneers signed Grimes to a two-year, $13.5 million contract.
