Butler can return kicks?
Gosh I hope so, how great would that be? It's like when Blount was returning kicks.

Without Butler our CB depth chart gets very suspect very quickly. Are you comfortable with Rowe and J. Jones as CBs 2 and 3, both playing 30-40 snaps per game? And that assumes that everyone stays healthy.
I like Landry, but that trade would wreck our CB rotation and in exchange we'd be upgrading a position where we're already pretty strong. On most snaps where Landry was on the field, he'd be taking the place of Mitchell, which is a major upgrade but nowhere near as big a difference as downgrading from Butler to Jones in nickel formations.
Without starting a new thread, I thought I'd ask....
if you had to pick a "WTF, we cut him" guy and a "WTF, we kept him" guy, who would it be?
There always will be at least one surprise each way.
I'll start...
WTF, we cut Austin Carr?
and
"WTF, we kept Will Likely (to be our PR)?"
We can reasonably infer that the Patriots' punt returner on Thursday will be someone who exists, so there is that.

I liked Travis, good tackler, could be a long term in the box safety.If I had to guess, I think Kenny Moore is the best bet to make it. Wasn't a big fan of Travis from what little I saw, but Moore crushed it on ST which will probably be the deciding factor for that last spot. No real opinion on Bates, didn't see enough of him to form one.
There is no reason to believe that either Travis or Bates will make the team.
I agree that we are in need of STer's.
IMHO, if Belichick isn't satisfied with the veteran STer's we have (Bolden, Freeny, King, Ebner, Grissom), he'll find one from another team, as he did in signing Flowers.
Could have gotten a 5thWTF we traded TFB for a 6th round pick?
WTF: Mike Connelly out of retirement to be our kick returner.

He's ended up on his backside a lot this preseason so this would not shock me.
