If they're planning on leaving Berry at SS.....I'd love for Goldson or Byrd to be signed to play FS.

Patriots not sure they can trust Aqib Talib on a multi-year contract

Aqib Talib played well for the Patriots after they acquired him from the Buccaneers just before the trade deadline, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be in New England for long.

Comcast SportsNet’s Mike Giardi reports that the Patriots have enough concerns about Talib’s work ethic that they question whether they can trust him to stay motivated if they give him a multi-year deal with significant guaranteed money.

That’s no surprise: Talib has great talent for the cornerback position, but he always been known as a player whose character red flags make coaches leery of him. Bill Belichick won’t want to dedicate a lot of salary cap space to a player who isn’t going to buy into the Patriot way.

However, if the Patriots won’t offer Talib a big contract when he becomes a free agent next month, some other team probably will. Which means there’s a real chance that the Patriots will have given up a fourth-round draft pick just for the right to rent Talib for half a season.

Hey I know! Let's claim Titus Young AND sign Aqib Talib! And maybe we can exhume Chester McGlockton!!!

i cant believe some of you people still on this high character red flag caution bullshit

there comes a time when athletic playmaker talent surpasses all the cautions. Aqib Talib's talent cannot be ignored and is worth a contract. And the way things are today you can always load it where there is tons of ways to get out of it or make the hit less if he ends up not working

all I know is FOUR YEARS OF "GOOD CHARACTER" PLAYERS got us 3 losing terrible seasons, an awful offense, one guy driving around like its grand theft auto with guns and drugs and washing out of the league and another guy killing his family and himself

that's what "good character" got us. So uhh yeah, we might as well go for the bad character/athletic talent combo rather than the good character (but actually not)/below average/scrub talent combo we have had the last four years

good thing about Reid and Dorsey is they will take a chance on a BPA WITH TALENT regardless of character

Goldson is reportedly seeking Eric Weddle money. Five years....$40 million.

Yep. When your HC is the coach that you had some of your best years under cuts you, it's time to hang it up.

I'd take a chance on Talib. That'd fill a big need for us.

I would too but nothing more than a 2 year contract.

Yeah obviously with his track record, I'm not saying we should throw the bank at him. He's a baller though, we should kick the tires for sure.

[ChiefAshhole20]

I'd rather take Shields

You can't have a team filled with choir boy stiffs, but character absolutely does matter. I want no part of Talib. You can't depend on him, and he is good enough nor consistent enough to allay that risk.
