Report: Broncos expected to try to trade Aqib Talib
Posted by Josh Alper on January 28, 2018, 12:21 PM EST
Mike Klis of KUSA reports that the Broncos are expected to put Talib on the trading block this offseason.
Klis cites financial considerations as the reason why the Broncos will try to move Talib. Talib has two years left on a contract that calls for him to make salaries of $11 million in 2018 and $8 million in 2019. They have Chris Harris signed for two more years while Bradley Roby is heading into the fifth year of his rookie deal.
Talib had 31 tackles and an interception return for a touchdown during the 2017 season. He has six interception returns for a touchdown overall since joining the Broncos and was selected for his fifth straight Pro Bowl this season.

Some food for thought but asked three GMs at Senior Bowl if they would trade for Aqib Talib -- $12M against cap in '18, $8M against cap in '19 -- all three answered "no" and they believed Broncos would release Talib because dead money charge is $1M so why surrender any picks
