Talib is set to get 12mil this year, don't think he's going to take anything under 10mil. Which if we are going to pay that might as well go after butler since he's younger. Not to mention we have to pay peters in a few years.
If talib would take 6-7 a year then yes I think for sure you go after him but I don't think he will. [Reply]

Beef up the front 7 and grab a corner in the draft
Yeah, that's why I say that the Talib thing would need to be for the right price for me to feel good about it. I'd say he'd cost $9-10M a year though. That's a little rich probably.

Yeah yeah I know. It was only a stupid fantasy
With how much nickel and dime we play, might as well get someone back there who is actually just a bit useful. [Reply]

Probably more feasible than Talib or any big name corner, money wise. But... he wants to be a Cowboy. [Reply]

While we're at it, lets grab Talib if he gets cut.

Berry/Thomas
Talib/Peters/Nelson.
with the right cuts, trade alex, and restructure a guy I think this would be doable. atleast money wise. And it would be the dream squad. that back end would be a nightmare to throw against. [Reply]

If they go that route then i'd dedicate draft resources to shoring up the pass rush. Receiver will have to wait yet another season. [Reply]
