PFT: Butler's contract might not be approved

Butler contract in jeopardy? | ProFootballTalk.com

There are rumors making the rounds today that the contract signed last week by Patriots cornerback Darius Butler has been disapproved by the NFL's Management Council.

...

If the four-year contract is not approved, Butler and the Patriots will have to try again.

The issue could impact the ability of the Pats to sign one or more of their three other second-round picks. One of them, defensive tackle Ron Brace, was selected one spot before Butler.

Wouldn't be the first time this offseason. I'd say at least a half dozen contracts have been disapproved, mainly UDFAs. There were also some issues with completion bonuses when the Saints re-signed guys like Vilma.

If it was/is, then I'd say it's an issue with that log bonus.

It's all about teams trying to dance around all the uncapped year rules.

Hot off the press...I'd say PFT got that rumor garbled.

Gotta love a good LOL at PFT.

And a ROFL to their sources.

At least PFT acknowledges that it's a rumor mill/gossip queen. Leaves a little less egg in its face when stuff like this happens.
