Aqib Talib retires, even after a call from old friend Bill to play one more year

Talib told "Call to the Booth," a podcast he is starting, that he had hoped to play one more season as long as "somebody gave me a nice check." He said Patriots coach Bill Belichick called him about "the role of a lifetime." However, after looking over the schedule and seeing the tight ends he might be covering -- Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Darren Waller -- Talib said he told himself that "it's over with."
