Talib played a season and a half with the New England Patriots after being acquired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the trade deadline in 2012. He helped solidify a shaky secondary and helped the team make it to the AFC Championship Game in both of those seasons. He left after becoming a free agent in 2014, signing a six-year, $57 million deal with the Broncos.
