Aqib Talib trade Rumors: 4 teams who need to make a deal
By Josh Hill
South. Carolina Panthers. 3. player. 87. . NFC
Why It Makes Sense: After letting Josh Norman go this summer, the Panthers are in dire need of an elite-level cornerback. For having a top-tier defense, the Panthers don’t have a single person that you could pick out of a grocery line — not even Pro Bowler Luke Keuchly.
Adding Talib would basically be like swapping out Norman for an older, slightly more unhinged version of himself. Norman had the ability to shut down a wideout as much as he did knock him the hell out. Talib has the same spunk and talent, and he could help the defense not miss a beat from making it to the Super Bowl.
Chances It Happens: It’s on the lower end of the scale. While he makes sense from the standpoint of replacing Norman, it’s to risky. Adding Talib is like swapping out Norman for a more veteran, yet somehow more immature version of himself. If the Panthers can deal with the baggage, then it’s worth a shot.
