Say he has a great season, then he becomes a free agent and we're forced to either break the bank for yet another player to keep him or we let him walk in free agency. I'd rather just draft a young pass rusher that we can pay very little for and not have to worry about what becomes of Butler.
He is a Ryan guy, he might be good but if he isn't we will address it next year but there is a guy in Buffalo, Aurthor Moats, that is a FA this year and could be ready to make a statement I would at least bring in some competition in , and Rufus might come into his own. If I were to get a lb, I'm more concerned at the ILB.

I did not really know anything about Arthur Moats but you inspired me to look him up and do a little research. I like what I've read... He has great speed and experience playing OLB and ILB. I know Rob Ryan loves that kind of versatility. No-one is really talking about Moats so I think we could easily sign him for a reasonable amount. I'm on board!

Buffalo might not have an O, but their D is pretty solid. I"ve watched this guy since he came into the league and wanted the Saints to draft him then. He is more solid than flash and should come at a decent price. The thing that bothers me is he is entrenched in the Buffalo community(which isn't a bad thing) and may take less money to stay in Buffalo. He is poised to have a break-out year which I believe he will.
