Butler visiting Saints

[Love The Drake]

If the Saints deal isnt breaking the bank could BB say sorry Sean and decide to match?
My question is would BB do such a thing.
Especially if Butlers pref is to stay in New england

Well, then the Saints aren't getting Butler. The Saints have to give up their first for signing Butler as a RFA. Why would the Pats accept anything less?

because it may be part two of the Cooks deal (the 32 comes back)

LOL, wait and see.

It would be funny if mevis's back here again lol. He doesn't have to be a number 1 here.

Florio is saying you aren't allowed to sign a RFA with a tender with the intention to trade them...It'd be pretty obvious at this point but NFL rules are so arbitrarily enforced..

 

[RobertWeathers]

Prior to last year, Gilmore was a top CB in the league. The Bills' defense sucked last year and couldn't pressure the QB and obviously affected him too.

...and not to get too stat geeky he allowed a Qb rating of 70

it might be part of the deal the two teams made? (trading the 32 back for Malcolm)

Exactly.

The poster I was responding to implied that Malcolm was worth more than #32.

Its a balance with these things. Contract status, age, system. Malcolm is a top 10 CB IMO. Is that worth more or less than #32 I dont know. Maybe?

Extra funny if he signs for the vet minimum and the Jets pay the majority of his salary

the thing is I have a feeling this is part 2 of the deal between the 2 men.

Correct - see my post here: Butler visiting Saints

It's very blurry. You're allowed to trade with player's and NFLPA's permission. But there's not supposed to be any "wink-wink" type of arrangement.

Arbitrarily enforced? It's the Pats and the Saints. We know exactly how it's going to be enforced.

Because I can't be 100% sure, but it makes too much sense.

It makes sense isn't 98% sure of something with no proof.

Because they already had a handshake agreement during the Cooks negotiations.

They'd be doing us a favor in my opinion, keep the beast!

They should give us back our 3rd rounder as well. Butler for number 32's just great value for the saints.

we would lose Cooks too

No we wouldn't. That trade was executed separately...

I wouldn't put that past Goodell
