Elky Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Talib wants to return: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4640/aqib-talib ESPN's Dianna Russini reports Broncos CB Aqib Talib's "top choice" is to reunite with the Patriots. Russini adds that the Broncos had trade talks with the 49ers regarding Talib, but "it doesn't look like it's going to get done." Talib is more likely to be cut, where he could get his Patriots reunion wish after Talib spent the 2012 and 2013 seasons in New England before signing a big-money deal in Denver. Talib is 32 years old, but he continued playing at a high level in 2017 and is a man-coverage corner. The Pats played more man than any team in football last year.

Deadpulse Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Splitting this out to a new thread with the following update: Quote New England is one of several teams the Broncos have engaged in Talib trade talks. http://www.9news.com/mobile/article/sports/broncos-actively-shopping-talib-but-cornerback-wants-say/73-526792816 Take it with a huge grain of salt. Its a Denver source and that is literally the only sentence about it in the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The idea of Talib coming in and being a safety after he's too sloe to play corner intrigues me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Talib traded to the Rams It's disappointing, but we were banking on him getting cut. Have to turn the page. Sherman and Honey Badger are both looking to be released, so we still have options on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everlong Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 So Belichick has passed up Bennett, who went for peanuts mind you, and Talib. We need a new GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP3MVP Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I wouldn’t have traded for that contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there was mutual interest, but the Patriots weren't giving up draft capital AND paying him at his current number. Same goes for Sherman. If he's cut, I'm positive the Patriots will be interested. But I really doubt they trade anything for him with their current cap situation.

Canadian_Patriot Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Feels like a bit of a missed opportunity. I think Talib would have had to been cut so his contract could be re-worked here. Belichick doesn't have his full arsenal of draft picks to make these moves this year. No 5th and 7th is limiting him a bit. Wouldn't be shocked to see is move a player before or during the draft for a later pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rams can take it I guess, but we definitely cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are joking? There are reports the Seahawks declined a better offer from the Patriots only because they had promised the Eagles the trade would be made before it was even finalized.

Nex_Gen Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I don't want Talib anywhere near the Patriots. Even considering the fact he has been the top 2-3 CB in the league over the last few years. He's scum and I'm glad he ended up somewhere else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
