Shotgun 442 Posted April 24, 2011 I don't know about straight up releasing the guy. They should at least try to get something for him. Plenty of teams will trade something for a guy with his talent regardless of his issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of teams will trade something for a guy with his talent regardless of his issues. Totally agree with this. We could definately get a decent draft pick for Talib. Kids got a lot of talent and I am sure someone will bite on him for a decent deal. I'd be pretty dissapointed if we just released him without exploring our options.

BucD+ 648 Posted April 24, 2011 Who is gonna trade for a player that is for sure facing a long suspension from the league once the lockout is lifted and a new CBA is agreed upon? He is possibly facing a year long suspension. Just sayin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well according to everything I've been reading there will be no retroactive punishment for players that get in trouble during the lockout even after a new deal is done.

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted April 25, 2011 Well according to everything I've been reading there will be no retroactive punishment for players that get in trouble during the lockout even after a new deal is done. That would mean that Johnny Jolly's suspension will get lifted even though he got busted again... I dunno about that. >_>. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLUE 1,026 Posted May 6, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: For the second straight day, coach Raheem Morris has strongly refuted a St. Petersburg Times report that the Bucs have already decided to move on from CB Aqib Talib.Morris called the report "completely false and bad information." The Bucs have been not to suggest that Talib is locked into a roster spot, only that no decision has been made. "Right now the guy [Talib] has not been judged," said Morris. "Once he is judged, I am sure the NFL ... will step into play. Then we will step into play also." Source: Tampa Tribune May 5, 4:15 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted May 26, 2011 Citing Texas law enforcement officials, the St. Petersburg Times reports that Aqib Talib will indeed be indicted by a Dallas grand jury on felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.The indictment is expected on Friday. "Official results don't come out until tomorrow," Talib's lawyer, Frank Perez, cautioned. Talib's charge is a second degree felony that carries a punishment of 2-20 years in prison. The NFL can't enforce discipline during the lockout, but commissioner Roger Goodell is known to be logging arrests. Talib's problems may be far bigger than what the league can impose if he's ultimately found guilty. Source: St. Petersburg Times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLUE 1,026 Posted May 28, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: The mother of Bucs CB Aqib Talib admitted to police that her son "could've been" the shooter in a March 21 incident that involved at least five gunshots at Shannon Billings, Talib's sister's boyfriend.Talib's mother made the admission days after their arrests. Police say both the mother and Aqib took turns firing shots, and that Aqib also pistol-whipped Billings. Talib has denied shooting the gun, which makes his mother's statement potentially very incriminating. The mother also stated that Aqib "took the gun from her, he chased after Billings with the gun." The .380 handgun is registered to Talib. He's in a world of trouble. May 28, 10:59 AM Source: St. Petersburg Times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted May 28, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: Bucs CB E.J. Biggers is the favorite to replace Aqib Talib in the starting lineup if Talib misses time in 2011 due to suspension.And the chances of Talib getting suspended are very strong. Biggers flew under the radar last year, ranking in the top ten of all NFL corners in Football Outsiders' Success Rate. A former seventh-round pick out of Western Michigan, Biggers also had 56 tackles and an interception in 16 games (six starts).

Turry 755 Posted June 3, 2011 Ronde Barber is willing to "go to bat" for Aqib Talib and believes the Bucs should not release the cornerback if he avoids prison time on felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon."He is complex," Barber said of Talib, comparing him to his brother Tiki. "It is too easy to simplify somebody and say they are a thug ... I know him to be a great teammate. I know him to be a fun-loving, kind of gregarious guy." Despite a report that Talib is "all but done" in Tampa, Barber and coach Raheem Morris have both come to his defense. His future with the Bucs hinges on his legal status. Source: Pewter Report The attorney for Aqib Talib will ask for an expedited trial date after the Bucs cornerback was indicted on felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon."It will depend on the court's docket," the attorney acknowledged. Talib has more leeway than a normal offseason with the lockout in effect, but he's going to want to learn his fate as soon as possible to see how it affects his football career.

Turry 755 Posted June 6, 2011 Despite one report to the contrary, ESPN's John Clayton believes it's "likely" that the Bucs will keep Aqib Talib on the roster this year.Frankly, neither report is worth much until Talib's legal status is resolved. If he's sent to prison on felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, it's easy to see the Bucs distancing themselves. If he avoids jail time, however, Talib has enough support from teammates and coaches to weather an NFL suspension. Source: ESPN.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted June 6, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Aqib Talib "could have a pretty good case."Talib has been indicted on felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. If he can win his case, it may make it easier for the Bucs to swallow keeping him on the roster. Either way, we're expecting Talib to face a suspension from the league.
