Linebacker Victor Butler coming to New Orleans on Thursday to visit Saints

This kid is the classic "Solid Back-up with potential for more". I'd love to see our boys pick him up. Loomis can always find a way to make these things work. There is always fat to be trimmed.

Besides the obvious flashes of a pass rusher out of Butler, I love his 4 forced fumbles in spot duty over the past 4 seasons. Sacks+FF=Play-maker! Sign him up.

I really thought this visit was going to happen last week, but I'm sure they're just playing it smart and getting a feel for his market value. I'm hopeful that he signs as well. This is a guy who is entering what should be his prime, if there really is more to his game than being a back up. He's also been in the league a few years so you shouldn't have to worry about too many mental breakdowns. Throw in the fact that he gets to keep playing under Ryan and this has the potential to be a fantastic move. Here's hoping.

Oh, and welcome to the board!

He will sign... methinks.

lee909 · 03-21-2013, 01:47 AM

Could be a good under the radar signing.I don't think it means we dont sign a pass rusher in the girst round of the draft though.Not unless we trade back anyway.

I think signing with the Saints wuld be a good move for him. He might not be a proven starter yet but he would come into a situation where he would have a leg up on the competition seeing he allready knows the system.

Integral piece of our new DC's system.

Good role player.

Good character.

Motivated to start / right price.

Sounds like our newest Saint!
