let him stay in new england, and keep both picks, its the most logical. or gift wrap both to browns and get garret.

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!

Report: Butler leaning toward return to Patriots for $3.91 million

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

At this point; I hope so!

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

He isn't edging towards anything,he has no choice
If the Pats wont trade him he has no leverage

Ill sit out
Go for it,we will still own your rights next year

He will sign and either agree a long term extension or walk next year into a big deal

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Damn! It's not even Thursday! Can't we just let this thread wither away until something, if anything ever really happens?

C'mon draft day!

That was the worst cat pic you posted. Because it's a cat from that lame tv show.

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Hey everybody, it's Thursday again tomorrow!

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Several reporters have commented that a Saints-Pats Butler deal likely won't transpire until draft day.

Lets wait and see what happens.

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

We really are gonna give up 32....

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

if ever they pull the trigger on butler , it won't be till after draft, with a pick from next years 32 pick baby were going to the superbowl------------------

Report: Butler bothered by Gilmore's contract, Patriots' interest in Sherman | theScore.com

As time goes by, the less I want to see this trade. Let's keep what we got and make it count. Easier said than done.

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

This FO has absolutely shown they DON'T value the draft.

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Then why do they so often trade up?

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Because they always give away picks!

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Trading picks to move up in the draft, to select a player they have high on their draft board shows absolutely no reason for anyone to think they don't value the draft. :rolleyes:

Same goes for trading picks for players in the season when injuries put the team in a bind...

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

So we give them back their first. So that would mean we traded Cooks for butler and 3rd round pick? Why didn't they just do that to begin with?
Billicheck and Payton matching wits. It's like Pawn Stars but actual players instead of championship rings from players that went broke

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Hey! It's not even close to Thursday dammit!

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

DUDE I TELLING YALL THAT THE 1ST RD PICK FOR BUTLER WILL NOT BE TILL 2018 DRAFT IT WILL NOT ALTER 2017 DRAFT PICKS. IMO :bs:

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

I do too.

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

I believe I've answered that before. Butler hasn't signed his RFA tender offer. He cannot be traded until he does so.

Cooks was due a $750K roster bonus in early March. He needed to be traded before that deadline. Butler was unavailable to the Pats to offer at the time.

SFIAH

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

I said weeks ago, if the offer sheet is put to him it will be after the date for a pick this year. It will be a 2018 pick. Looks like the hacks been reading my posts

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

I've pointed out the exact same thing at least a dozen times. LOL

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Do not approve if this goes down but might as well. Another pathetic D likely sends coach packing. Go down swinging.

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Hold your breath.

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

And per the NFL rules, the Patriots can't even talk about trading him until he signs his tender. It's considered negotiating in bad faith.

Unsigned tender kept Malcolm Butler out of Brandin Cooks talks | ProFootballTalk

Not that the NFL would ever go after Belichick or Payton. ;)

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Now we get to see what pick we're giving up in the wink-wink deal...

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Please don't let the Pats do a mind job on you Payton. Hold your ground for hells sake!!!

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Don't forget about the calming influence Ireland has in the war room. Stick to your guns for the second rounder and a player we don't need that they like.:bng:

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

Ugh, I am not happy about this as the draft nears...

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

... a 7th rounder? :bng:

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
 

I've always believed that #32 was a placeholder for Butler. Which is fine because we'd blow that pick on some 3rd round prospect.
