Miko Grimes threatened a writer for reporting that she cost her husband, Brent Grimes, his job with the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins released Grimes on Wednesday, saving themselves $6.5 million against the salary cap. They replaced him by acquiring fellow cornerback Byron Maxwell in a trade with the Eagles.

Days earlier, The Miami Herald’s Armando Salguero reported that the Dolphins wanted to trade Grimes rather than release him, but they had trouble finding takers because of Miko.
