Venturi has argued a few times for bringing Moncrief back. He thinks there will be no market for him externally based on what he's shown this year so we should be able to resign him cheap and he argues that based on Chud/Pagano's "coloring book" scheme we really don't have enough data to judge his true potential. Net, net.....I'm not going to be upset if they resign him on a modest contract. I also wont shed any tears if Ballard shows the same cold blooded approach as Belicheck.....you don't perform, you get cut.
I agree. I think he won't get any better offer than we would give him and maybe with real coaches he can be the stud we all thought he would become.

Not saying I want him or the Colts should pursue him, but just throwing out the rumors for a former top CB, Aqib, Talib, since its a position of need :

He is over 30 and it seems corners fall of about as quickly as RBs at that age, most of the time.

But he is a former Patriot as well, with McDaniels being hired.

He’s really still a top CB, his level of play hasn’t fallen off at all. He may very well fall flat on his face soon, but it’s yet to happen, so he’s not really a “former” top CB.

I’d definitely trade for him (this is more about my time watching him with the Broncos than the Patriots), though the rumor is most teams aren’t interested as they suspect he’ll be cut. We have tons of cap space, we could definitely use a bonafide CB1 and I’d trade a low level pick to ensure he ends up here.

I wouldn't trade for him. Talib is already 31. Yes, we have tons of cap space, use it on the oline and pass rushers, not on an old CB. Deion Sanders was 33 when he retired because his play was not up to his standards anymore according to him. Revis is 32 and a shell of his former self. Why bring in a 31 year old CB? This sounds like a Grigg's type move to me, no fucking thanks.

Give him a try as a FA, sure, but no trades for Talib.
