This is just a question. Do you think Talib would be worth the off-field troubles?

I'm sure Bill Bellichick will brainwash Talib to stay in New England for less money.

Talib will stay now that New England has the money to resign him with Tom Brady redoing his deal. They got a lot of cap space. May be able to resign Welker and vollmer

You can't look at the Hall situation in a vacuum. It's not who can we get for 8 mil that would be that good.

First off, Hall isn't even going to make 8 million next year, and he knows that. So asking the question who can we get for 8 mil next year to fill his spot, is a moot point. So the question is who can we get for 4 million? And is said player going to take reps from a possibly emerging Minnifield/Crawford down the line, due to guaranteed contract? Will said player take the free agent, I've been paid plunge? Will said player alter our drafting strategy and prevent us from drafting a CB?

I personally would like to see what Hall can do with descent safety play behind him in the scheme. One thing Hall can do is make a play on the ball, with a better pass rush and a safety that can allow Hall more leeway to take those chances, we may see a much better performance from Hall.

IMO this season we should acquire a CB either via draft/FA but I don't think said DB should be our #1 CB, or at least expected to be. If he pulls a Sherman and emerges, that's all the better for the Skins. But the last thing I want to do, is go spending 8 mil on a new #1 CB.
