Malcolm Butler situation?

[DarrylS]

Yes, this is the very first time we've seen an agent use the press for his client. It has absolutely never happened before. No experienced agent would ever go to the media to discuss a contract situation. Nope. Never ever.

This is a completely worthless comment, which makes zero sense whatsoever.
Your experience with a labor attorney has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Bottom line is this: Butler faced a decision many players face in their careers, which is to take short term guarantees or play out their current deal in order to get long term gains. They decided to pursue the long term gains.

If you were being honest, you'd admit that if Butler took pennies on the dollar from NE, you'd be talking about what a genius that very same agent is.

Many false personalized assumptions, however none of it is true.. I am a huge Butler and hope he gets paid his value.

I will probably never call Derek Simpson a genius, his interactions with the Saints and subsequent shopping proved that..

My experience with an experienced, well known labor attorney has everything to do with this, I would not bring a criminal atty or divorce atty to any labor negotiations.. Simpson is a well known criminal attorney, he has no NFL experience..

I have favored that Butler take the short term guarantee and take out a large personal injury insurance policy, to protect himself in the event of a significant injury.. but I still hope he stays with the Patriots.
