FANATIC 852 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Rams acquired CB Aqib Talib from the Broncos. It's the Rams' second trade for a corner in two weeks, and gives DC Wade Phillips a veteran frontline starter to pair with volatile, young pro Marcus Peters. The Broncos had decided that 32-year-old Talib was no longer worth his $11 million salary, but he remained one of the league's better corners in 2017. Durable, Talib has remained extremely consistent. The Rams have done an excellent job of rebuilding their cornerback corps on the fly.

FANATIC 852 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 When you are gifted Peters on a rookie deal you can afford Talib. Chiefs simply dont play to win but they are respectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moons314 2,463 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Holy shit there’s no way I’d pair a young Peters with Talib. Both are talented , but both volatile as well. Putting them together may very well backfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I like this. Now if this blows up in their faces (Rams) we will see many not going for either of them if their attitudes don't change.

Thegoatee 1,781 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I suspect if they are winning it works. But if they have a bad stretch... look out. May explode big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I suspect if they are winning it works. But if they have a bad stretch... look out. May explode big time. Exactly what I think. First year will probably work really well. Then comes Peters contract year and all hell could break loose. Big contract is almost as bad as tagging him and Talib will just egg situation on.

sith13 1,746 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Could be the pressure of success in a new city but Rams are really trying to win now and taking advantage of the high value of draft picks this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
