Are we going to see Talib on Gronk?

Ok but it'd be kinda funny if Amendola takes out Talib in the next AFCCG.
Talib better watch out for those mid-practice Welker crossing routes.
As others in here have mentioned, this is very much the same strategy that got Denver and Elway those 2 titles when he was retiring. They mortgaged the future at the tail end of a HOF QB's career, cheated a little, and have 2 Lombardi's show for it.SB39: Can you point me to one time that 'mortgaging the future' or 'going all in' has worked for an NFL team? It works in other sports (occasionally), though the context is usually different because it involves trading picks and prospects for players at the trade deadline when you already know you'll be making the playoffs and because the 7-game series nature of playoffs in other sports means random chance doesn't dictate most of the outcome of the playoffs as it is smoothed out over a longer series.
I can't particularly recall a time a team was 'mortgaging the future' in football, and certainly can't recall that particular team winning the Super Bowl.
Difference is that unlike us, they have depth. Even if Talib gets injured it won't hurt them like it hurt us. Plus, also unlike us, they will have a good pass rush with Miller and Ware.
I don't recall the drug issues, but does that mean it is going to be tough for him going to the green state of Colorado?
I know the Broncos draft fairly well, but it seems mind boggling that they can afford Manning's ridiculous salary, Ward at $5.5/year, Talib at $9.5/year, Welker plus all their other guys, plus reportedly being close to signing Ware.
Danny Amendola will be placed on Injured Reserve long before then.Ok but it'd be kinda funny if Amendola takes out Talib in the next AFCCG.
Nostradamus? People like you thought they would surely win one last season and we all saw how that turned out.Well like I said... we'll have plenty of cap space available for the Chase Rettig era, and all Denver will have is a couple of Lombardi's.
I dare say the Broncos are working under the presumption cap figures will increase at a desirable rate for big contracts in the coming years. If not, they're going to be in cap hell when they need to negotiate those expiring rookie contracts.
I really wanted the Patriots to extend Talib but given his significant issues, there's no way I hand out the Denver deal.
