I don't know why anyone buys that this team was going to trade Butler. They can give him his tender than season and then franchise him next, essentially it is a 2 year $18M contract.Just on page one with 7 pages to go. Initially I think we paid too much for someone who isn't a true #1 WR and likely a one year rental in a year we need defensive rookies.
That being said I am SOOOOOOOOO relieved Malcolm Butler isn't part of this deal, I almost don't care about the lost picks, though I probably will by the time I get caught up with this thread.
If you ask me it was really as simple as them paying slightly more for Gilmore than it would have cost to keep Ryan.
