OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 ....kiss 'n make up time?.. Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports free agent CB Malcolm Butler "wants to make it work in New England." Howe adds Butler does not plan to hold out if he is forced to play the season under the first-round tender, which will pay $3.91 million. All of this disputes a report from CSN New England's Mike Giardi, who said Butler wants out of Foxboro. Howe did say Stephone Gilmore's contract was a "gut punch" to Butler and the corner "has received interest from several teams." Whether it happens this year or next, this situation seems to be headed toward divorce. Mar 13 - 11:43 AM Source: Jeff Howe on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 @pfcentral I can confirm four teams have contacted New England about dealing their first round pick for Malcolm Butler. One team is in AFC East. Biggest holdup? Giving up their 1st and having to pay such a lucrative contract . Well duh A draft deep at CB for a cheap rookie contract . Please don't give hoodie another 1st rd pick.

Eric Moulds on my A** Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Tough guys don't love soup as much as I do. Considering the associated RISK of burning ones mouth when enjoying a soup and the RISK taking mentality of said "Tough Guy"..I gotta say, it must be true.

frostbitmic Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hopefully Butler gives the patriots* as much effort as we got out of Gilmore last year and from Byrd in his final year here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 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. Shot? It's a game. Chill out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Could we have put a RFA tag on Gilmore or was he not eligible? I honestly don't know anything about the RFA tenders, but it seems like Gilmore and Woods would have been prime candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 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. We all know there is only one Patriot for life and he doesn't wear Butler's number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know anything about the RFA tenders, but it seems like Gilmore and Woods would have been prime candidates. it isn't a tag, he's not eligible. He had at least 4 years in (5 since bills triggered his option as he was a 1st Rd pick) so he'd automatically a UFA unless they franchise or transition tag.

YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 So basically it's going to end up being Cooks for Butler after all. actually if it's a straight RFA signing, they need to give up their original #1 pick which is pick #11. But apparently the Pats might work something out on their own with NO to move him because NO doesn't want to give up that much. Not sure how that works.

Iron Maiden Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 If he stays, their secondary will be really good....if he leaves, we'll hear how BB is a genius because he took an UDFA , coached him up for 3 years, and turned him into a 1st round pick....
