Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!

Butler literally made a goal-line, game-winning interception as an unheralded, undrafted rookie free agent...
Two years later, MB was your shutdown cornerback on yet another Superbowl run...
The Pats still saw fit to sign Buffalo's Gilmore and let him walk?
IMHO, New England is much better at defensive talent eval than the Saints.
Why didn't we get into the bidding for Gilmore then if he's better?
And Payton and DA are both on record saying they'd like to have a CB with length for matching up with big receivers in our division.
So why are we adding Butler who's 5' 9-1/2" and 190 lbs wet?
The corner that we've professed we want will be there with pick 32 and you'll have cap friendly numbers for four years with a fifth option.
It's not the ***d*mn corners but the Safety and Pass Rush that's been the problem...
We over commit way too much resources on veterans, backing ourselves up against the wall when we need to rotate in some rookies every year...
They aren't discarding him at all... They slapped a restricted tener on him if we sign him and they don't match we lose our #11 pick in the draft. The only possible way I would be ok with signing him is if we re work the Cooks trade.
I want him but not at the cost of our #11 NO WAY.
