The Facts: The Texans are re-signing Grimes to a one-year contract, according to his agent, Sunny Shah.
Diehards Line:
Grimes became an unrestricted free agent after he wasn't tendered as a restricted free agent. The Texans negotiated with Grimes and he opted to test free agency before ultimately returning to the AFC South champions. As Chronicle staffer Aaron Wilson notes, Grimes provided value to the Texans' backfield last season as he rushed for a career-high 282 yards and a touchdown and averaged five yards per carry. He also caught 26 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown. Grimes' quickness and reliable hands were an asset for a team that generally lacked explosiveness in the running game last season.
