Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Aqib Talib's Fate Optimistic Based on Bucs' 2011 Draft Picks

Don't look for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to dump troubled cornerback Aqib Talib anytime soon.

Why?

Because Raheem Morris said so.

Morris spoke to ESPN's Suzy Kolber during a break in the draft action this past Saturday as the Bucs were wrapping up their selections and he spoke about the Talib situation.

"The whole thing about it is," Morris told Kolber, "it will be handled through the league, of course, as always. And everything will be handled here internally and what we have to do. The young man has to be put on trial and put into judge and let the thing sort itself out in the court system."

Right now, Talib has not been indicted on any charges. He's hired a small platoon of attorneys and the entire incident has to be looking pretty shaky about now without super-credible witnesses.

Talib's mother seems ready and willing to take full responsibility for being the only person who actually fired any gunshots.

If there's no indictment, then there will be no trial. Without a trial, it will simply become the league's immediate decision as to possible suspension and length thereof.

One thing that stood out over the weekend was the fact that the Bucs drafted no cornerbacks until the seventh round.

They could have moved up one spot in the first round and got Prince Amukamara.

But that didn't happen.

Will the Buccaneers flat out release Talib when there's the ability to do so?

Don't bet the ranch on it.
