The Denver Broncos could apparently find themselves in a tough spot trying to trade cornerback Aqib Talib.
ESPN’s Jeff Legwold spoke to three NFL general managers at the Senior Bowl and found little interest in Talib, with all of them believing the Broncos would eventually release the defensive back if they couldn’t find a trade partner.
Some food for thought but asked three GMs at Senior Bowl if they would trade for Aqib Talib — $12M against cap in '18, $8M against cap in '19 — all three answered "no" and they believed Broncos would release Talib because dead money charge is $1M so why surrender any picks

As noted, Talib is going to be expensive if the Broncos don’t move him, and if Denver is that desperate to get the cap hit off the books, they’ll probably release him if it comes to that. It doesn’t make a lot of sense for anyone to give up anything to grab him. Either way, though, it sounds like Talib has played his final snap for the Broncos, and he seemed to be aware of it, too.
