Report: Bucs Shopping Aqib Talib

[jtnc]

The signs of the Buccaneers’ interest in drafting LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne are coming faster and faster.

Ronde Barber is playing safety at the team’s workouts, Barber said last week that the team will “probably” draft Claiborne and now there’s a report that the team is shopping cornerback Aqib Talib in a trade. A team source told Pewter Report that general manager Mark Dominik would like to acquire additional picks in next week’s draft in exchange for Talib, a pretty good sign that the team plans to add a starter at the position.

Wanting to deal Talib and actually dealing him are birds of a very different feather. Talib’s trial for aggravated assault with a handgun doesn’t start until June 25th, which means teams are not going to have any idea of his status for quite some time. There’s also the specter of a suspension from the league to deal with and that’s not going to help the Bucs get much value in return for Talib.

Talib is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is set to make just over $1.85 million in 2012.

I'll be happy when he's out of the division. We can throw in Wright's direction all day long.

I can't imagine anyone taking him unless for a late round pick with the trial imminent.

this guy has all the talent in the world, but is a major headcase

Samuel being shopped too.

Maybe some Bengals or Cowboys-esque team could role the dice on him. I guess they'll definitely take Claiborne if he's there.

[TylerDurden]

Dammit. I hate the Bucs so much. Well, I hate all of our division rivals, but they're working their way to the front seat this offseason, especially once they take MoClay.

On the brightside, MoClay and Tampa Bay rhyme with gay. I'm going into hiding now so Grant Hill won't lecture me.

They're having a great offseason, better than any offseason we've had. Marty Hurney is gonna continue to put this team in the dumps.

[Black]

Troll harder.

Like ever?

[EMSMedic79]

The fact that they were so high on him last season and are shopping him now speaks volumes.

[PhillyB]

he's done an excellent job against smitty in seasons past. complete little bitch though, i still remember that cheap shot against teh jimmy that pissed off the entire team.

i'll be glad to see him go.

[SteveSmithOwns]

Just gonna go ahead and say it.

Aqib Talib is not only a moron, but also one of the dirtiest players in the NFL. the guy is a straight up punk that shouldn't be playing in the league. TB is begining to realize this it seems.

[panthersphan]

I'd definitely take Talib over Samuel, that's for sure...
