Butler's being traded folks
He can't really do anything to get himself traded. Make him play out the last year.

They can't negotiate crap. If they offer sheet Butler they have to give up their original #1.They would probably negotiate our former pick at #32 and a second rounder......

Well the other point to that is so much for those "reports" that there was a 2nd part of the Cooks deal that involves Butler. Pats can't trade him if he finds some team to do a sign and trade or if he doesn't sign his tender.
the fact that BB did not even let Butler play cover 2 on Julio Jones in the SB and then went out and spent 14 million on a new CB tells teams he is not a top 5 CB.
he is on the same level as Logan Ryan a good starting CB and should get 10 million per so he will have a hard time finding a team to give 14 million and a first round pick in one of the deepest Drafts for DB. RB and DT in a long time
I kind of see this. That SP and BB have a behind the scene posibility for Butler to move to NO, but I dont see a 14 mil contract happening in NO. The problem is that I do believe Butler should be paid. He really should. But The NFC south has some of the biggest and fastest WR's in the NFL. So, same as there is a worry Cooks cant duplicate his speed and success on turf in the cold weather of NE. There is the same that Butler cant handle the speed in the dome. JAIRUS BYRD had a problem with this, and was suppose to be a great pickup. I believe in Butler, but I was all for Byrd also, so what do I know, lol, Im a RB guy.Well the other point to that is so much for those "reports" that there was a 2nd part of the Cooks deal that involves Butler.

Can't say what Butler will or won't do but, Mankins legit got screwed on a long ass rookie deal and then the weird CBA extending RFAs and he showed up mid season in shape and ready to go. Butler hasn't even played long enough to be an UFA. He's got nothing to whine about.If he is unhappy here and is sounds like he wants out..do we really want him back there with that attitude? Let him sign it and get our first round pick back.
Pats mishandled this one and it suck....**** I loved Butler (will still wear his jersey no matter where he goes). Could have had two of the best CBs in the NFL playing together. Sounds like it will be Gilmore and Rowe.
Got it... brain cramp........If they offered him a contract they would have to give us their 11th pick. Butler also can't be traded since he hasn't signed his tender.
Or maybe they learned from the experience of having Kyle Arrington trying to cover Chris Matthews in Superbowl 49.
While the team holds his rights, it's also hard to imagine a guy like Belichick putting up with that nonsense and/or putting another player through a pointless process.He can't really do anything to get himself traded. Make him play out the last year.

I don't get how Butler can justify demanding UFA Gilmore money when he's only played in the league 3 years. Patriots are right to tell him to GTFOOH.
Not sure you can replace Butler that easily, but Butler has nothing on Wilfork and Mankins having to play out SIX seasons to get their contract. Insane people are blaming BB...Funny thingis Gilmore played his chance at FA out to 5 years. He earned his payday. Butler and his agent can't realize that I guess. Pretty sad actually. Oh well, get a decent first and draft a CB. Mid first would be good enough to grab one and replace Butler.
