  Rams | Aqib Talib could be back this season    Fri Sep 28, 09:31 PM

Los Angeles Rams CB Aqib Talib (ankle) could recover from ankle surgery in time to play at the end of the season, according to head coach Sean McVay. 'I don't know exactly what that date would be but I know that the anticipation is to get him back,' McVay said.

Footballguys view: Placed on Injured Reserve this week, Talib now must miss eight weeks of action. After that, the team should see where his health is at. A high ankle sprain can linger, but getting surgery might lead to Talib coming back for the last part of the regular season and what could be a deep postseason run.

  Rams | Aqib Talib happy to be a Ram    Sat Apr 14, 11:11 PM

Los Angeles Rams CB Aqib Talib said the Rams were one of the teams he was comfortable joining because he will reunite with defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. 'He's like a guru at putting guys in position to succeed,' Talib said.

Footballguys view: Talib had his best season under Phillips during the Super Bowl 50 run the Broncos had in 2015. He's reunited with Phillips in L.A. and it should be a productive pairing once again...especially since the Rams also added CB Marcus Peters this offseason to start opposite Talib. The new 'No Fly Zone' is most certainly in Los Angeles.

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos CB Aqib Talib was officially traded to the Los Angeles Rams Wednesday, March 14, in exchange for a 2018 fifth-round draft choice.

Footballguys view: The Broncos now will have Bradley Roby on the outside with All-Pro Chris Harris manning the slot. Roby, a first-round pick in 2014, is playing on his fifth-year option and could be in line for a big money deal if he plays well in 2018.

Denver Broncos CB Aqib Talib has been traded to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for a fifth-round draft choice, according to sources.

Footballguys view: The Rams sure are making moves! We've known the Broncos wanted to move on from Talib for some time, the we supposed they would get a little more than a 5th round draft pick for him. While he isn't the player he once was, he's still a nice addition to the secondary.

The Denver Broncos would like to move CB Aqib Talib by Wednesday, March 14, which is the start of the new league year, according to a source.

Footballguys view: They are definitely trying to clear cap space for a run at Kirk Cousins. If media rumors are right however, that ship may have sailed to Minnesota already.

  Patriots | NE, DEN 'engaged' in talks over Aqib Talib    Thu Mar 8, 12:39 AM

Updating previous reports, the Denver Broncos have 'engaged in trade talks' over CB Aqib Talib with the New England Patriots. They have also discussed him with other teams, as the trade market appears strong enough to the point where it is expected Denver will not release him.

Footballguys view: Moving Talib off the roster will free up some cap space for the Denver Broncos. It may not be enough to land their main target - Kirk Cousins - however extra cash to help rebuild parts of this team is nothing but good. It seems like to leave has certainly overstayed his welcome a bit in the Mile High city.

  Patriots | Aqib Talib wants to join NE if cut    Wed Mar 7, 06:42 PM

Denver Broncos CB Aqib Talib would consider the New England Patriots his top option this offseason if he is released by the Broncos, according to sources.

Footballguys view: Talib has been with the Patriots before (2012-2013) and going back makes a lot of sense...for both sides. Word is the Broncos have been trying to trade Talib but to no avail. They want QB Kirk Cousins in free agency and could free up $11 million in cap space by releasing Talib.

  Broncos | Denver seeing drop-off from Aqib Talib?    Thu Mar 1, 12:29 AM

Denver Broncos CB Aqib Talib is 'not playing at the level of his salary,' according to a 'sentiment within the organization' heard by Josina Anderson of ESPN.com. Talib is set to make $12 million in 2018 but the team could be in position to save $11 million under the cap by choosing to move on from the 32-year-old.

Footballguys view: They were pretty dissatisfied by him in the first place, so seeing him cut would be no shock. Talib would find a home somewhere, at a lower price.

  Broncos | Aqib Talib may be on trading block    Sun Jan 28, 12:41 PM

Denver Broncos CB Aqib Talib is expected to be placed on the trading block this offseason because of financial considerations, according to 9News.com's Mike Klis. Talib is scheduled to make $11 million in 2018 and $8 million in 2019.

Footballguys view: Talib is no longer a top shutdown corner. The rest of the league could wait out Denver and see if they release Talib instead of paying him at a level that is reflective of his past play, not current.

  Broncos | Aqib Talib a release candidate?    Wed Jan 3, 02:58 PM

Denver Broncos CB Aqib Talib acknowledged there is a chance he will not return to the team next season. Talib has two years remaining on the five-year contract he signed with the Broncos in 2014 and carries a salary cap hit of $12 million for next season but only $1 million in "dead money,' according to the Denver Post's Nicki Jhabvala.

Footballguys view: The salary is inflated, but Talib is still capable of playing at a high level. The Broncos might want to free up $11 million in cap space by releasing Talib so they can have more dollars to go after a free agent QB like Kirk Cousins. Releasing Talib would also allow Bradley Roby to step into the no2 role opposite Chris Harris.
