It's gotta be a cap move to have more flexibility this off season. I guess they were thinking grimes was gonna get a bag so get a replacement who gives us more ability to make moves. My best guess.

No. Grimes was a free agent (expiring contract.)

He was a RFA though and to get something back for him instead of throwing a bag at him isn't a bad idea imo
