Dan4pres 125 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 All indications point to Denver having to release Talib due to salary cap issues (probably trying to hold on to their dollars to go after a FA QB). Sure, they will try to trade him first but an aging CB may not command what he currently makes. Some experts think that Talib might be in play for the Chiefs if he becomes available. What will be the fan's reaction if we sign him right after trading Peters? They are similar players in regards to knuckleheadedness. Although, I believe most of Talib's run-ins are with other players instead of coaches. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Talib seems a natural fit. Plays great man defense. Can still be competitive covering the other team's No #1 guy and may bring a toughness to the D that is missing. He went to KU as most of you know and he would probably enjoy sticking it to Denver twice a year. He was also quoted as really liking Mahomes this past year and maybe feels the Chiefs could contend in a year or two. He already has his ring so I don't know what motivates him at this point. For all of the talk that Denver could contend with a quality QB, I think they are much further away from contending than that. They will have to break up their defense and that has been their calling card since Elway retired. I think Talib is a huge Ahole but I've always admired his game. I never liked Ronnie Lott or Charles Woodson either but all three of those guys are winning players. They all make plays in the big games. In that regard Talib may actually be an upgrade over Peters. Just don't wear any jewelry around him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,606 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 If the price is right and a 1 or 2 year deal at the most while we get depth behind him. I don't think he will be as good though and will see his decline coming this year. Rather go after a young CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dablueguy 0 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It would be funny to see the usual suspects defend a Talib signing, while also twisting themselves into a pretzel to convince themselves that Veach is going younger, faster, and cheaper. I have been a big Talib fan, but I want no part of him, because I believe in younger, faster and cheaper. Hopefully Veach really does also. I agree with you that Denver is way further away than just a good QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soonerborn77 276 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I don’t mind it, you need veterans sometimes. Denver brought in Ware when he was a few years away from retiring and it helped them, as long as it isn’t 5 or 6 oldies coming in than why not.

KCJohnKC 33 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 My opinion is if they didn't want to deal with Peters, why do they take on another known problem child +30 during a youth movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with veterans, but Talib is a grade a piece of shit. Being a Kansas fan, I’ve long wanted to like the guy, but the fact remains he brings baggage this team doesn’t need. Now that said, if they did bring him in (which I don’t think they will) it would be on a small, short term deal, which is the other reason it won’t happen , because Talib wouldn’t accept such a small bill.

Honestly, doesn’t our defense need that? We are to soft, no intimidation at all and just seem like we go through the motions, a POS like Talib might bring some much needed nastiness to the team.

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 The only way I would be happy is if Denver traded Talib for DBG. Edited: I didn't realize Xen had already traded him to the USFL for a future draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense needs attitude, I agree, but I think it has to be the right attitude. I’m thinking more along the lines of a Ray Lewis type. We need someone who can channel said attitude without being a liability , a liability that I feel describes the likes of both Peters and Talib. I think the personality is better served being that if someone who can be a big hitter, piss off the competition but not melt down in the face of adversity. I don’t trust Talib to not melt down anymore than I did Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WichitaZRide 321 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 No. Just no. You don’t set a precedent of getting rid of one player for being old, and another for his attitude, to LITERALLY turn around and make the very next roster move signing an old guy with a much more documented attitude problem than the guy you got rid of. Hunt already knows he’s in thin ice with the fan base...making this move would just everyone off. Funny...I fully believe that if two weeks ago if someone would have posted a poll asking who the bigger POS was between Talib and Peters, the results would have Talib on top...and here we are talking about him being okay in KC...

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 No need to sign him, they are rebuilding for 2019. They bought themselves a year or 2 playing a rookie QB, so the results are only measured by PM development. Playoffs are a bonus this year, not the real expectation. No need to spend big money for any stop gaps, be a learning on the job year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Rock Chalk 14! And no. Amerson is the stop gap with upside, but we need a long term solution on a bigger cornerback to team outside with Fuller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s bullshit. Hunt on thin ice? He’s the owner. If you don’t like what he’s doing , don’t buy tickets, but someone will in your place. Fans are fickle, and the way an owner keeps fans happy is by winning, not by letting a vocal minority try to influence personnel decisions.

With the stop gap we can wait until the 19 draft where we have more picks and a better handle on where we stand at some other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
