Well that seems like Gronk #2 is confirmed.

Hope they got something for him....

A player of need would be a bonus

Re: Looks like Butler was cut

Was hoping he'd get one more year with rasi a little injury prone. Best of luck butler to wherever you go unless it's Indy, new jersey, or Pittsburgh.

And they did it on his daughter's birthday......BB is ruthless.

98.5 reported the tweet and said it was a straight cut

Re: Looks like Butler was cut

Doesn't state explicitly he was cut. Could've been traded too, I hope we got a late round draft choice, rather than just cutting him.

This also puts the possibility of Dowling converting to safety to an end, I suppose.

Re: Looks like Butler was cut

Well, now people know why there were 6 CBs still on the roster. One was a placeholder.

CB Darius Butler released by Patriots after club was unable to trade him - should be a hot commodity on waivers.

Re: Looks like Butler was cut

On the bright side, that must be good news for Arrington and Bodden, health-wise.

Jets to put a claim in soon then.

Re: Schefter: Butler released

I was hoping he could finally put it all together. The skills are there, but for whatever reason he never seams to be able to make plays on the ball. On a positive note, this must mean that Arrington's injury must not be serious.

Hot commodity? For an unfocused corner that bites at every fake?

Re: Looks like Butler was cut

Fine.

Five CB's and three TE's makes more sense than six-and-two.

Again, sort of wish we could have retained a TE we trained, but should be fine. Better balance.

Re: Looks like Butler was cut

So, I cut depth at DB ('cause you just KNOW a DB or two will get hurt) to add a scrub at TE. And, no, I'm not a Butler fan, really. Since he lost his confidence, he's looked lost on the field.

Seems to me that BB is putting all his eggs in the D-line basket. This better be the best d-line ever assembled. QB;s better not have any time to throw. RB's better fear getting the rock.

So, starters: Bodden, McCourty with Arrington at nickle.

Ras-I and the new dude as back-ups.

Hmmm...
