Hopefully as said, exploring all options and comes back to us.

I honestly had no clue who this guy was until the media started talking about him a few weeks ago. I didn't even know Victor Butler existed really. The only reason why I wanted him was the fact everyone was talking about how perfect of a fit he would be here... and his familiarity with Ryan. Other than that, his numbers are pretty bland.

I'm pretty sure it's his price point. All these teams needing a 3-4 OLB let him leave w/o offering a contract. I'm not interested in overpaying for such an unknown entity.

I'm with you on this one Papz! I hadn't heard of Butler before this offseason and the Saints making the Ryan move, so I really don't know how good of a player he really is or if he even really fits into what Ryan wants to do?

I dunno if this has been brought up yet, but he scheduled a meeting with the Browns. Seeing that they just signed Krueger, I don't imagine he'll be able to get more out of them than any of the other teams he's visited.

How can you compare darren sharper and roman harper? Sharper was a FS and harper is a SS (Mostly known to be in the box to help with run support and covering TE's)

Two completely different positions

I know what your saying but every year or so you get a chance at adding youth and good solid potential to your roster and this year two of the better low risk players were at ILB and OLB.

you gotta try and add a player or two when these lower risk player come available. at least really try to.

its like getting a shot to redraft without as many question marks in those mid rounds.

I agree. He would be stupid not to go and look everywhere Before he decides where to sign.

Might as well get wined and dined by everybody.

Seems to me he's all about money. Pass.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way. Last edited by papz; 03-22-2013 at 08:07 PM..
