They still may draft a CB. I'd like Moore back in NO as well ... for depth. He is a #3 at best.

I like this signing. Good price for a lot of potential.

We need a big run stuffer added into this also.

Like the Okafor signing. Low risk. Let's see what he can do. Hell yeah.

I hope this guy works out, but $3 million for 13 tackles is not impressing me. At least he plays special teams. Hopefully Nolan shapes him up

He got 10 sacks in 14/15 as a starter though

He is well worth a shot at that price

I don't get all the hate on Butler. I watched some tape and the guy seems to be better than any CB on the roster PFF rates him at # 5. He starts day one and makes us much better a position of great need, I would give up at 2nd or 3rd . Pay like the top 5 CB . It is simple really.
