Victor Butler's deal with the Saints is for 2yrs, but can void down to 1 yr based on playing time and production

Saints signed OLB Victor Butler to a two-year contract.

Butler, 25, has 11 career sacks and four forced fumbles across four seasons, though he's only played 803 career snaps, per Pro Football Focus. The typical starting 3-4 rush linebacker plays 900-1,000 snaps. While Butler is considered a weak run defender, he has edge speed the Saints desperately need. He also played for new New Orleans defensive coordinator Rob Ryan in Dallas last year. Butler will compete for a starting job with Junior Galette, Will Smith, Martez Wilson, and whomever the Saints add in April's draft. We like Butler's chances of at least earning a significant role in sub-packages -- all-out pass-rush downs.

I would be shocked if Smith was competing for an outside linebacker spot. After all the years of playing with the hand on the ground, this is a lot to ask an aging veteran at this point in his career.

For shame Mr. Hogan... for shame.

He took his sweet time, but just couldn't turn down the chance to wear some black & gold!

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
