I'm not sure anyone would've touched Pacman had we not signed him. The Cowboys are the only other team with a rep like the Bengals for taking in guys like that, and the Cowboys had seen enough. Talib got a good contract. Pacman was offered a last chance type of deal.
Sure but they weren't exactly gang-buster FA signings.
The only difference is age. If Pacman had the seasons he had here at Talib's age it would be more evident. Money-wise, Talib got more but overall risk-skill it's very similar.
Talib was traded to New England for a fourth round pick and he was promptly suspended 4 games.
Only got a one year extension to prove himself
Oh and....
Quote:Talib has had several conduct related issues since his NFL career started. At the NFL rookie symposium in July 2008, Talib was involved in a fistfight with fellow Buccaneers rookie Cory Boyd.[20] On August 20, 2009, Talib allegedly battered a taxi driver,[21] and he was arrested by Florida Highway Patrol and booked into the Pinellas County jail, charged with resisting arrest without violence and simple battery.[22] In March 2011, police in Garland, Texas issued a felony warrant for Talib for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after accusing him of firing a gun at his sister's boyfriend.[23] He was later released on $25,000 bond. Talib was indicted on the charge in May 2011.[24] On June 18, 2012, the charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence and character concerns with the accuser[25]
