BillsFan17 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Pats will get a first rounder for him just watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domdab99 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 No. I am not giving a !@#$ing first round draft pick to the Patriots. Not even for Jim Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 @jeffphowe Patriots offered Butler somewhere around $6M to $7M annually last season. Butler hoped to be paid in the ballpark of a top-10 CB. Patriots told Butler last season they wouldn't pay a CB more than $10M annually, so the Gilmore contract was definitely a gut punch.

YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Do you have to give up a 1st rounder or can that be negotiated with NE? yes, 1st rounder and offer sheet they won't/can't match. It's genius by BB. Of course. But he's pissed and I see his point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasNootz Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 If the Pats somehow turn Butler into Gillmore and a 1st, I'll call "the fix is in"... It'd be like turning a backup QB and the last pick of the first round into the first overall pick and Bradin Cooks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domdab99 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) If the Bills sign him, they'd essentially be trading Gilmore and a first round pick for Butler. If Whaley did that, he not only should be fired, he should be shot. Edited March 13, 2017 by Domdab99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I am continually amazed that players love to play in New England...and then get pooped on by the organization. Guess winning covers a ton of stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I am continually amazed that players love to play in New England...and then get pooped on by the organization. Guess winning covers a ton of stink. Playing with Brady ups your chances to win a SB pretty heavily! They won't be able to play this hardball game when he's gone and players aren't guaranteed a trip to the AFC Championship game or the SB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY315 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Ian Rapoport Retweeted 35m Jeff Howe @jeffphowe All that said, I was given a strong indication Butler prefers to be a "Patriot for life." He wants to make it work in New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
