Broncos agree to trade Aqib Talib to Rams

While the Seahawks are tearing down the Legion of Boom, the reigning NFC West champions are reloading on defense to ensure their standing atop the division.
 
The Rams and Broncos have finalized a deal that will send veteran cornerback Aqib Talib to Los Angeles in exchange for a 2018 fifth-round draft pick, NFL Network's James Palmer and NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via sources informed of the situation.
 
The move comes just hours after Rapoport reported a standoff in trade talks involving Talib and the Patriots.
 
"For Talib, there were really only two places he wanted to go," Rapoport explained on Thursday's edition of NFL Total Access. "New England, where of course he had a lot of success with Bill Belichick and the Patriots. And Los then Angeles with the Rams, where he would get to play under Wade Phillips, his former defensive coordinator in Denver."
 
Gives us some cap space, pretty much closer to rebuilding.

Feel like this is a deal that looks way better on paper. Talib is 32 and will really start to slow down this year or next. I'm also weary of Snead dumping younger, high character guys for a pair of giant, veteran egos in the secondary. These guys plus Wade Phillips screams lack of discipline.
