Broncos are shopping Aqib Talib.

[C-Lee]

Would love to go after him. Need a top tier corner again, it’s time.

Talib is definitely an intriguing player but at age 32 it's questionable he will be able to perform at an elite level much longer.

Yeah, but I don't mind spending on a 1 year contract, even pay a bit premium.

I guess the Broncos are possibly interested in trading Talib, a move that would result in the Packers having to absorb his current deal which runs for another two seasons at $11 million in 2018 as well as $8 million in '19.

 

[AmishMafia]

No thanks. I live near GB and we don't need his sort.

 

[GleefulGary]

They'll probably cut him, no point in trading for him.

It's not a talent issue, it's a "he's a terrible person" issue.

 

[Dantés]

He’s 32 and one of the biggest pieces of trash in the league.

Hard. Pass.

 

[906Fan]

I don't think he would want to play for us cause we don't play against Crabtree next year and he wouldn't have any gold chains to rip.

Absolutely agreed 1000%!

Pass!

Did we not learn anything from last years big free agent signing? Don't take bad character players. Isn't this the cat that punched out his mom in the driveway years ago?

 

[yooperpackfan]

No thank you.
Not Talib, no way.

I recall where he pulled a gun and shot at someone. If he was a better aim, he would still be in prison.

 

[RepStar15]

All set with paying a high price tag for trash.

 

[NBA1971]

He's too old.

Yeah sometimes you need some terrible people to win the super bowl. But I agree I would not trade for him. If you could sign him for 2 years 15 million you'd have to seriously think about it.

 

[OldSchool101]

I don't want anyone that becomes a locker room distraction, cancer or whatever you want to label him. We can do this the right way and be smart about it. We deserve both, a talented guy that also has a good head on his shoulders.

I'm not convinced that's true, especially when talking about a 32-year old cornerback who could regress rapidly.

 

[BrokenArrow]

For those of you saying he's too old at age 32, the Packers used to have this guy named Woodson that was pretty good. Darrell Green made the Pro Bowl when he was 37 and played into his 40's.

That said, he's a thug and I'd really hate to see the crime rate spike in Green Bay just because he might be able to play football. So... no!

The guys you mentioned are exceptions to the rule though.

 

[BrokenArrow]

And a good GM is able to recognize those exceptions. To simply make a blanket statement that a 32 year old is automatically "too old" ignores them completely.

 

[Joseph Willcome]

Green Bay would be ignorant if they don’t go after him

 

[Zartan]

No way Jose... he's a bit old and I feel he will be another Martellus Bennett.

It's possible Talib continues to perform at high level for another few years but a good GM has to consider the possibility of him regressing pretty fast as well.

Talib is a baller, and while his personality isn't great, he is currently one of the best at his craft. For a 1-2 year signing, we can draft to shore up the front 7 and hopefully make a run. I'm tired of drafting DBs, let's grab some proven talent.
