Before training camp, Talib had been late for meetings.
He missed the flight to Canton, when the team’s rookies visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
His position coach, Raheem Morris, admits that Talib is a “wild child.”
Due to his various actions, Talib already has been fined “heavily and repeatedly” for violating team rules.
“We’ve handled it in a stern way,” coach Jon Gruden said.
“Some of the mistakes the guy makes are innocent mistakes.
They’re not malicious.
But all I think that has happened to him is his eyes are wide open now.
He understands when he’s not here, he’s a letdown to Derrick Brooks.
You’re letting down all these Bucs fans.
We’re going to back up our end.
We’re going to pay you well, OK?
You’ve got to earn that money now or I’ll take it all back.”
