Interesting notion considering the discussions in the Gillislee thread.
I had the exact same thought

I think the deadline to sign the tender is before the draft so that really wasn't an option.I wish he hadn't signed until after the draft.

They don't have to. It's perfectly acceptable for the agent to have discussed parameters with both sides. In fact that is how it's done.Disagree
Pats/Saints will wait several days in order to create the illusion that this deal was constructed only after the signed tender.
Just solely in terms of the Saints POV: I am not sure they can afford to let go of #12 or #32 + #42 given their holes on defense for Butler + RB.
Hell, he still has to go through Eli's. This could all take weeks...What's he gonna do? Request Bill's cell phone?
I coubt we'd get that much for Lewis. Was thinking more along the lines of getting a slightly better pick than we give up for Gillislee - like the Saints' 5th rounder.
How are Saints going to afford Butler anyways? Seems like a really dumb move for them.
From what I heard/read from the various beat writers (+Lombardi) the Pats apparently asked 32 + 42 for Butler. As usual this could be just leaked crap but I suppose we will know soon.
The fact that he will be participating in voluntary workouts is a good thing, right? After all, if he was on the trade block you'd think the Pats would want to put him in a bubble as much as possible.
love that name. reminds me of Teve Torbes.They had Ryan Ramczyk in for a visit today, one of the few potential first rounders they've met with for a while. Just as a, maybe unrelated, aside. Also had Teez Tabor in for a visit. Not saying these things are related to a Butler trade but you could draw a line between the two if you looked hard enough.
You'll love how he plays too. Very nasty in man to man.love that name. reminds me of Teve Torbes.

Isn't required too however.
Patriots have untill the draft to "use" saints 4 rounder, mayby thats a part of a trade.
