OT Aquib Talib

It's a pet peeve of mine that people compare current market value with contracts that were signed 2-3 years ago. Just compare what Josh Norman got for his contract last offseason (6y, 75m, 50m guaranteed) to Talib's contract (6yr, 57m, 25.5m guaranteed) and you can see how the market just keeps exploding.

If you'd normalize Talib's contract with the inflated cap space and the relative increase of the market value of CBs I am sure you end up with impressive numbers.

I agree with you. It's amazing to see guys like Dan Snyder continue to outbid himself with some of these ridiculous deals.

In this instance I can almost guarantee that @TheBostonStraggler was just keeping it light by pointing out how reasonable Talib's pact looks 2.5 years later. He's really proven to be a good value for Denver.

Im not a fan of the guy personally but he is a great player...but a Dumbass....I still think BB screwed up letting him get away when he could have been a solid CB for us for years.

Revis made 20 million from the Pats for 2014. 15M then and another 5M when he was on the Jets last year.

I have been following his play this year. In my opinion, he is playing like the best cornerback in the NFL right now. He's not making much money, just 6-7-9 million a year over the past 3 years for elite level play. Did anyone here expect this kind of production and durability since leaving here? He is out for this weekends game, but overall his durability has been great.

I always liked him when he was here. I remember he won us the game against Atlanta in 2013 with an incredible end zone play on Julio Jones And he held jimmy graham to zero catches.

I don't think even a speeding bullet could slow him down....oh wait!

If a player looks like a rat, plays like a rat and sounds like a rat, then he must be a rat.
