I wonder what this means for Butler

Let's sign a career backup QB for 14.5 million! YAY!

Should of kept Cutlet.

 

[yankeehater]

Today is the day Howie can start to work his magic!

For his first trick watch hm make all the eagles cap space disappear.

 

[jbug617]

If you are the Texans, do you take a run at Butler and give up the 1st round pick?

If you are the Texans, do you take a run at Butler and give up the 1st round pick?

Absolutely.

Whitworth signing with the Rams:

Mike Garafolo‏ @MikeGarafolo
Whitworth's deal with Rams: three years, $36m with $15m in guaranteed

Shows how shitty the OL market is, that a 35-year-old can get that type of deal.

If you are the Texans, do you take a run at Butler and give up the 1st round pick?

No fucking way.

No because they're going to use that first round pick to draft the qb who will win them multiple titles in mahomes

 

[Wes]

Britt to the Browns.

I wonder what this means for Butler

I'm also concerned. Not this offseason, as I don't see him moving now because of the tender, but in the future. The idea of Belichick paying two corners top-level money for multiple years has my spidey senses up.

 

[Jarnet87]

Bucs offense should be fun to watch this year. Feel like they are definitely going RB in the first, Cook being the obvious guy

As an FSU fan I would love to get Dalvin, but drafting Ramcyzk if he is there or the best defensive talent that falls is the smarter pick and get a RB later.

Not like this Kenny, not like this.

Cutler is a known commodity that isn't very good. The career backup has looked good at times. definitely would rather have the unknown when the known is Cutler

Barring a breakdown in negotiations, #Browns are expected to sign veteran WR Kenny Britt later today, source told ESPN.

BG? Im doin it and fucking with Eagles GAF at the same time

 

[MechDX]

Malcolm Butler? Pats CB? Why?

in the end AJ was the 4th CB. Only played because Kevin Johnson got injured. They're fine there

 

[darkside31337]

Yeah I don't disagree but this is the organization that took a kicker in the 2nd (from FSU!). If Cook is still there at 19 I kind of doubt they don't go for it .

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Free agency is already wild

I would not be surprised if we see a team go after Butler. If you have a late first round pick and you need serious corner help then why not.

I just hope the pats would be willing to match. I love Butler.

I'm not upset. I preferred Woods, so please get it done. Woods can grow with Carson

 

[Wes]

Britt to the Browns.

Britt gets 4 years 32.5m - 17m gtd

 

[BlackGhost]

I thought Britt was going to the eagles? SNATCH!

 

[darkside31337]

Britt has spent most of his career playing for Jeff Fisher so he's already prepared for misery

 

[jbug617]

Speculation I saw on Twitter, what happens if the Pats are going to trade Butler in a package for Cooks.

 

[jmdajr]

Good money, no expectations. Seems like a decent deal, unless Browns Currency exchange rate is that much poorer.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Speculation I saw on Twitter, what happens if the Pats are going to trade Butler in a package for Cooks.

Unless they get the saints 1st I wouldn't do that

 

[effzee]

Is Woods confirmed leaving Buffalo?

 

[Duxxy3]

Speculation I saw on Twitter, what happens if the Pats are going to trade Butler in a package for Cooks.

I wouldn't trade Butler for Cooks straight up. I'd want more from New Orleans.

 

[spyder_ur]

Thinking about it, I think it likely means more for Logan Ryan than Butler. I figured Ryan was gone anyways, but Gilmore is a more prototypical outside CB and maybe they trust Jones in the slot.

 

[effzee]

If Britt to Cleveland is true, I really hope the Eagles have a plan in place to upgrade the WR position which doesn't boil down to "let's see who falls to us at 14".

 

[BigAT]

"Industry insiders believe Kenny Britt will sign with the Eagles as soon as free agency opens on Thursday."

*SWITCH*

"#Browns are expected to sign veteran WR Kenny Britt later today."

 

[squicken]

Good things the Vikings are all set on the offensive line or seeing all the tackles gone would be bothersome

Philadelphia Eagles‏Verified account
@Eagles

Roster Move: #Eagles release DE Connor Barwin.

Bummer but it gets them up to about $16M in cap space

Offensive Leader for the Bengals gone.

 

[Pepiope]

Wait wait. Why did the Patriots sign a CB? They have Rowe.

 

[effzee]

Sucks. Great guy all around but completely disappeared last year in the 4-3. Seems like he wasn't a fit scheme but was kept on for some reason while other misfits were shipped.

Hmm

 

[Hindl]

Things are getting awful quiet on the Pryor/Jeffery front. I think Howie's going for them. Which, eh...there's some risk there

Wait wait. Why did the Patriots sign a CB? They have Rowe.

Might trade Butler

Sucks. Great guy all around but completely disappeared last year in the 4-3. Seems like he wasn't a fit scheme but was kept on for some reason while other misfits were shipped.

Hmm

Probably because last year his cap hit was pretty decent, whereas this year he had almost no guaranteed money at all

 

[yankeehater]

If Britt to Cleveland is true, I really hope the Eagles have a plan in place to upgrade the WR position which doesn't boil down to "let's see who falls to us at 14".

Gonna sign Ruben Randle and Chris Givens. Trust in Howie.

 

[StanleyStutters]

Gilmore has a ton of talent, but I'd rather see Butler get locked up long term here. Don't get me wrong this year could be special with those two leading the CB corps, but after this year I fear Butler is gone. I don't see BB paying 2 different guys at the same spot top of the league money. I don't expect any team will sacrifice a 1st rounder for Butler, especially since the odds of him hitting the open market next year just went up. The only thing I wonder about is if the Pats got wind that Butler was getting a big offer from somewhere that they weren't going to match so they went after Gilmore.

 

[JaMarco]

Wait wait. Why did the Patriots sign a CB? They have Rowe.

Patriots play a lot of nickle, pretty much need 3 starting level CBs.

 

[JaMarco]

Not gonna doubt BB and the Pats but they've been aggressively pursuing some really mediocre players this offseason. Not like it even matters though

How is that different from what they do every year?

 

[MechDX]

So has Dega asked for hipster Barwin to come home yet?

 

[Tom Penny]

I'm also concerned. Not this offseason, as I don't see him moving now because of the tender, but in the future. The idea of Belichick paying two corners top-level money for multiple years has my spidey senses up.

Can't worry about the future. If they have Butler and Gillmore that is among the best duos in the league.

 

[effzee]

Had much higher trade value last year. Could have moved him. Hmmm

So has Dega asked for hipster Barwin to come home yet?

Apparently, there was some trade talk between Eagles and 49ers so wouldn't shock me if he goes there.

Why would any GM trade for aging veterans when they know they will be released anyway?

 

[Duxxy3]

Who knows... maybe this is the year that Bill actually pays people?

Patriots Considering Trading CB Malcolm Butler To Saints For WR Brandin Cooks https://t.co/G2ovT0qLZ7 https://t.co/2UvxQ5QGQr

#pray4Bread

Guess he can add the Saints to his team list

 

[JABEE]

I'm okay with not signing Britt

 

[jmdajr]

So has Dega asked for hipster Barwin to come home yet?

I still remember how he biked to practice. Like an actual bicycle.

 

[Tom Penny]

Who knows... maybe this is the year that Bill actually pays people?

I'd rather have two good corners than a linebacker and a corner...

 

[effzee]

Why is Kelce up for trade? We need consistency on OLINE and he isn't the problem with that group.

What would he fetch anyway? a 6th round pick?

 

[JABEE]

"Considering"

 

[jbug617]

Here we go

The New England Patriots are considering trading Malcolm Butler to the New Orleans Saints for Brandin Cooks per sources
