Buccaneers Shopping CB Aqib Talib?

    There has been speculation that the Buccaneers privately might be shopping cornerback Aqib Talib to other teams ahead of the Week Eight trade deadline. The market for a talented corner in the prime of his career, as Talib is, was set before the season, when the Dolphins traded CB Vontae Davis to the Colts for a 2013 second-round pick and a conditional late-round pick. A deal for Talib would be complicated by his contract situation — he’s in the final year of his rookie deal — and his status as a repeat offender of the league’s personal-conduct policy. As a result, it appears that Talib’s future this season is with the Bucs.

  2. Well I've got to be honest, I really loved the guy when they drafted him, hell I thought Ronde Barber and him could have shaped into a very nice duo for a few years from the start.. That time has come and gone and with the release of Tenard Jackson a while back, it is Ronde Barber and Mark Barron who may be an entertaining duo to watch for the rest of the season. I don't have much faith in Eric Wright though.

    Agreed. I doubt very much he will part from the Buccaneers this season. I really wonder what a team would offer for him though..

    I don't think they get a trade partner I mean he has a ton of baggage and if a team was interested they would probably wait for free agency if the Bucs don't resign him

    There is no way anyone gives up a 2nd for a guy on the last year of his deal and with legal problems. Vontae Davis was just immature but the talent was there. That's why the Colts gave up a 2 and conditional for him. But Talib? He's borderline toxic.

    agree with the thoughts here. not sure why anyone would want him, no less giving up a draft pick for him .............

    4th round pick for Talib and a 7th round pick.
