NFL Trade Deadline: Patriots Snag Talib, Bowe Stays

John Rieger-US PRESSWIRE

The NFL Trade Deadline has passed and as expected, WR Dwayne Bowe is still a Chiefs.

But that doesn’t mean no deals went down.

The New England Patriots have traded for Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cb Aqib Talib.

Talib has a lot of troubles off the field and is currently serving a four-game suspension for breaking the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

There is no word on what the Pats gave up for Talib but it was likely a draft pick.

For the Chiefs, the deadline was quiet. With the future of GM Scott Pioli and head coach Romeo Crennel in serious doubt due to the extremely disappointing 2012 season, it would have been foolish for chiefs owner Clark Hunt to allow Pioli to make any major moves.

For now, at least, Dwayne Bowe remains a Chiefs.
