With Trumaine Johnson a FA, if we decide not to re-sign him, I expect that we'll go after Talib once the Broncos release him. Talib can be a bit of a hothead and knucklehead, but he was a dominant CB in Wade's scheme in Denver. He should be cheaper than Trumaine due to his age and willing to accept a shorter deal (my guess would be a two-year or three-year deal).
I also recommend keeping an eye on CB Bashaud Breeland. He played under Aubrey Pleasant and Joe Barry in Washington. He's a good fit for Wade's scheme (physical, press-man CB), still young, and is about to hit FA. The Redskins reportedly are going to let him go because they can't afford to pay him and Norman top dollar, and they have already planned for his departure (drafted Fuller, Moreau, and paid Dunbar).
Three NFL general managers said at the Senior Bowl that they would not trade for Broncos LCB Aqib Talib.
Per ESPN Broncos reporter Jeff Legwold, all three GMs said they believe Talib will eventually be released, making him an unrestricted free agent. The mere fact that the Broncos have made it public they want to deal Talib lowers his value. Turning 32 next month, Talib continued to play at an extremely high level in 2017, earning PFF's No. 15 overall cornerback grade among 120 qualifiers.
