Aqib Talib
If you had asked me before the season whether Aqib Talib would be a Bronco in 2017, I’d have said, No way. Now, I’m not so sure. Either way, it’s definitely in the cards.
Talib technically has three years left on his contract, but the Broncos could save $10 million by cutting him this offseason, and with Bradley Roby looking like the real deal, it would make sense.
The Broncos could use that extra $10 million to fortify their offensive line, replenish their front seven or even chase after a big-name quarterback. A team could do worse than Chris Harris and Roby as their top two cornerbacks.
Still, there’s no denying that Talib is one of best cornerbacks in the NFL, and with the way he’s playing, he’s worth every dollar the Broncos would be paying him. Not to mention, he’s a major part of the Broncos’ locker room and culture; without him, this team would not have the same energy.
