Adam727 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Not for the amount of money he's going to want. I'd rather avoid big money free agents this year and keep saving cap money for 2019/2020 after Beane has had a couple of years to find his QB and assemble the roster he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 He was a backup when he made that Super Bowl play. BB signed Gilmore to an obscene contract, which was in some way a statement about Butler. He tried to trade him. Then benched him for the SB. No thanks. I never thought he was that good to begin with. If you didn't like Gilmore you would hate Butler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Ignoring cost, absolutely. If he was so miffed by the benching yesterday that he took a lesser deal just to be able to stick it to the Pats* twice a year he'd probably become a fan favorite. Reality is that he will command a larger contract than we want to allocate to the position, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the type to jump in there and make a difference when it comes to stopping power or physical presence Gilmore can hit but he's Similar to Butler. New England desperately needs at least one safety. They're !@#$ed for next year because of it. Edited February 5, 2018 by Boyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one unit on the team where McDermott did a beautiful job putting it together from rookies and scraps, it was our secondary. We need to throw FA money at improving the lines (both sides), LB esp. ILB, and WR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 If you wanted to pay top dollars for a CB then they should have paid Bouye.

ProcessTheTrust Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I like the chip on his shoulder thing, but we already tried that in a form of a HC. Realistically, Butler has been the beneficiary of getting away with def holding/PI almost every play because of the team he plays for. If he had to play without holding onto a guy all downfield, not sure he's even average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Not for the price tag he is going to command I wouldn't. The question shouldnt be "Would you want Malcolm Butler?" The question should be "Would you want Malcolm Butler for $10+ million a year?" The first answer is yes. The second answer is hell no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 My opinion changed a bit if the story on why he was benched is true.... showing up late to team events, and wasted during what is very simply your most important business trip of the year. If he’s doing that nonsense, he’s probably not worth the big dollars it would take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
