Pats deal
1 year, $3.91m tender
5 years, $62m
What Butler ended up getting
1 year, $3.91m tender
5 years, $61m
Actually a little lessSo, he made more than what the pats offered. Good move on his part.
What if he accepts? Do the Patriots still bench him after paying all that money? Perhaps, but maybe not for the entire game.
If that is true, his agent really is a moron. No waiting a year, protected in case of injury...
I imagine he was taking the advice of his agent who was pitching him as if he was a Free agent.Actually, Butler would have been the moron in that case. If this report (which strangely comes out one day after he signs with another team) is to be believed.
Guy didn't want to be here.

Neither do I. You don't bench a guy for the Super Bowl (and in many minds, including my own, lose because of it) then offer him big money. I call a big BS.I don’t believe this for a damn second.
If they leak is from the Pats, then I have lost some respect for them (just like I lost some for BB after the Super Bowl).Roll eyes.. pretty informed leak, seems like some after the fact PR by the Patriots. If Butler would have come back I would have lost all respect for him after the Superbowl.
Watching his highlights scrolling across the screen the dude competes. Not his best year in 2017 but I will never understand why he couldn't have been the 5th or 6th option in the Superbowl.
Anyway, onward and upward, onto 2018.
