After Aqib Talib suffered a minor gunshot wound to his lower right leg on Saturday night, many fans thought the Broncos should part ways with the cornerback.
I get the idea, he has had multiple issues on and off the field throughout his NFL career, and there probably will be more, but a simple glance at Talib's contract tells you he will remain with the Broncos in 2016.
