Aqib Talib’s top FA Destination is the Patriots - Update Traded to Rams

[varjao]

- In New England he will get Gronk-like holding calls that were allowed in Denver

- 32 and expensive

- PLEASE bill throw all the money slotted for defense on the front 7. Draft a safety or 2.

Well Woodson aged well when it came to playing cornerback so maybe talib's the same. I didn't see him losing a step last season.

 

[ivanvamp]

Talib's 32. We will see if he can still ball.

Kind of silly, but not sure where to find each CB's passer rating allowed.

NFL1000: Ranking the Top Outside Cornerbacks of 2017 Season

Butler ranked #42 for the 2017 season.
Gilmore ranked #28.
Talib ranked #27.
Sherman ranked #12.

So going from Butler to either Talib or Sherman should, theoretically, be an upgrade. Perhaps a significant one.

No doubt. Sherman's a little younger but that injury worries me a little.

Any scenario that leads to Richard's not being on the field is good with me.

Even if Talib was a high character guy, not sure it would be worth throwing money at CB on the wrong side of 30.

Idk about that. It's not like we are giving a guy a long term deal here.

 

[primetime]

Unlike Sherman, Talib would be ready at the beginning of the year. If both are free agents, there's nothing that precludes them from getting both.

This guy is a radio show host in Denver, not sure how credible he is.

Not sure how credible, but very logical.

Talib and Peters? Same team? In the city of Los Angeles? Would the Rams dare test that out?

 

[slash83]

If that’s the case no way Denver sends him to an AFC opponent that kicks their ass.

 

[Joey007]

We lose again

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Well hope Sherman comes here at the right price.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

There goes that pipe dream

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

The Rams will be sick with him and Peters.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

What was the compensation?

 

[chasa]

What was the compensation?

5th rounder

 

[ensoul]

We lose again

Don't worry we have Eric Rowe and whatever scrub corner BB drafts

 

[fightingirish595]

I really don’t understand what the rams are doing
