2. Acquire Brent Grimes from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Should the Buccaneers go in the tank over the next two weeks, they could be looking to move on from some of their old players. Grimes, 33, would certainly fit that bill. After being released by the Miami Dolphins this offseason, Grimes stayed in Florida and signed a two-year deal with the Buccaneers, that is really a one-year contract in essence.

Grimes is still one of the better corners in the game. He’s small, but he has insane hops and very good speed. While his wife continues to be a terror on social media (seriously, check that out), Grimes might be worth the headache that she causes.

Dorsey would not have to give up a ton to get Grimes. For starters, he is only going to be here for the rest of the 2016 season. His contract has a cap hit of $8 million this year and $6.5 million next season, although none of it is guaranteed. The Chiefs could (and would) walk away from that salary without any issues.

Grimes would probably cost a late-round pick, maybe a fifth or sixth. Kansas City would have to create a little cap space, but that could be done by releasing De’Anthony Thomas.
