I'll do cartwheels if the Pats just don't get fleeced and at least get their #1 pick back. Probably no chance of that happening though.
Hahaha, no.Does this mean there signing an offer sheet?
They can and will get fleeced if Belichick wants to do Payton a favor.They can't get fleeced, technically right? They have all the leverage here don't they?

I wouldn't be shocked if BB and SP already have set some terms for a deal. But if I'm BB and they hammer out a contract I don't answer the phone when they call for a trade. What then they can submit the offer sheet or they wasted their and Butlers time.Hahaha, no.

Oh, you mean the faceless/nameless guy who was given the opportunity of a life time to win 2 SBs with the greatest franchise in NFL history.
The first-round tender means New England will pay Butler $3.91 million for the 2017 season.
It also means that Butler is free to negotiate with other teams, too. If one of those teams makes a better offer to Butler, he can sign an offer sheet. The Patriots would have an opportunity to match that contract and keep Butler.
If New England declined to match the contract, Butler would change teams, but, because of the tender used on Tuesday, the Patriots would get a first-round draft pick from the team that signs him. That usually is a deal-breaker.
