The New England Patriots are facing a tough decision on rather to give Aqib Talib another contract extension or to let him go. Last year, they gave him a one year, $5 million deal, but it expires next month.
The market looks to be very tough this year, which mean the Patriots will have to step up and might have to give him big money in order to keep them in their hands. There's really no sign on what will happen, but owner Robert Kraft believes that "he's happy here".
“Well, we want to retain all the good players we can retain,” Kraft said, via Tom Curran of CSN New England. “It’s not like we have unlimited funding so . . . He wasn’t on the field a lot of the time since he’s been with us. It’s a balance of us balancing all that out and what is he worth. I think he’s happy here and would like to be here and we’re happy with him and we’d like to have him here and now it’s just about doing business.”
Talib has had some off the field issues, but that won't be stopping most teams from coming out and getting him in free agency. It should be interesting and he can come into a lot of team and provide right off.
