I think most of us are pretty surprised how unproductive these extension talks have been... or at least, the reported tone of them. I mean, who could blame Butler for being a little upset. He's been underpaid for two seasons, and has to deal with the "insult" of seeing someone outside the team getting a contract he feels he might deserve. And now, reports are coming in that he's been shopped around to at least 1 other team (New Orleans). Is he now still on the trading block?
Assuming him and the Pats are unable to agree to an extension (and assuming Belichick doesn't want to franchise tag him next yars, and decides to gain some value from Butler while he's still under RFA contract) what is Malcolm's trade value?
Personally, I think he's worth a 1st round pick....but with the upcoming schedule of above-average QBs and elite WRs...I'm wondering if keeping him (even for a year) is the better option. What are your thoughts?
