Denver Broncos CB Aqib Talib’s six-year, $57 million deal could end up being a one-year, $12 million commitment. Only $11.5 million is truly guaranteed, and he’ll receive that in 2014. The rest of the guaranteed money includes base salaries of $5.5 million and $8.5 million in 2015-16 that are guaranteed for injury only until the first day of the respective league years. Barring a career-ending injury, they could cut him next year and eat a $4 million salary cap hit.
