Can you blame the guy? A back up to this point and he looks as if he has options. If it is a bidding war we have very little chance to win his services.

The New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns both failed to lock up Victor Butler after putting the free-agent outside linebacker through a physical.

Now a third team with a defense transitioning to the 3-4 scheme has come calling. The next stop on the Butler tour is Philadelphia to visit the Eagles, The Plain Dealer reported Monday.

Ever notice how some folk have a real hard time taking a hint? Then again, he could be ready for a breakout season....

Aren't they all at his point in the year?

Obviously the young man views himself as a starter, but it appears teams are offering back-up money.

I won't slam the guy for trying, he has confidence in his abilities. I like that. I hope he ends up choosing us.

I wonder if his agent is the problem moreso than Butler?

IMO the agent is always the problem, with any player.....the bigger the contract the more his 10-15% will be.

Free agent OLB Victor Butler left his Eagles visit without a contract, but the sides have "mutual interest" in getting a deal done.

Butler's visit to contract ratio is now 0:4, suggesting his asking price simply isn't in line with his market value. With no other trips currently scheduled, however, it's possible he's on the verge of finally making a decision.
