Butler Served

Malcolm Butler finally signed his Restricted Free Agent tender and will be under contract for $3.91 million next season. It also allows the Pats to trade him before they probably lose him to free agency next year.

The Pats don't have a pick in this year's draft until the third round at #72. There is no doubt that Coach Belichick would like to get into at least the second round.

On the other hand, Butler and newly signed Stephon Gillmore would be a formidable duo at the corners.

Will Butler be here for the first game in September? It remains to be seen.
