Pats get CB Aqib Talib from the Bucs !! - Page 55 - New England Patriots Forums

The guy is a quality corner, I don't see why it's a dice roll any more than any other trade. Out side of the current suspension, his off-field issues haven't caused him to miss any games AFAIK.

I don't see how this is really a bailout for the Bucs. If they let him go in FA, wouldn't they have gotten ~4th in compensatory?

past 2 years he hasn't been very good on coverage..something like 109 passer rating when opposing QBs pass to his side. It's a dice roll due to the 4th round for a 7 game tryout aspect as well as his personal issues.

I like the move becasue he is probably better than anything we have at this current moment.

DRC or Jammer please

If the San Diego Chargers don't make the playoffs, I would not be surprised if Dean Spanos decides to go in another direction, to put it kindly.

Thoughts?

There has never been a day where Moore was higher on the depth chart than Arrington. I don't know how you can find it surprising that Moore was the one cut.
