As previously mentioned in the “Trade Frenzy” post a little over a week ago, I didn’t think the Los Angeles Rams were done in the trading block, and the front office hit us again on Tuesday by trading veteran All-Pro cornerback Aqib Talib (and a fifth round pick) to the Miami Dolphins.
Much has been spoken the past few weeks about Talib being a cap casualty and trade candidate after acquiring Jalen Ramsey, but I don’t view it that way, because of two reasons:
For starters, Talib is set to be a free agent this next offseason, so his trade cannot generate new cap space towards the future.
