Matt in KC Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Bolts sign cornerback Crezdon Butler He played in six games in 2012 for the Bills, primarily on special teams. He had one defensive tackle and two special teams stops. This preseason, he appeared in three games with one start, totaling five tackles, five passes defensed and one interception. Good for him! I always liked the kid. I wish him the best. I'm still surprised we didn't give him a shot, even with our DBs hurt. (Does Westerman, Jamaal really add more to the team?)
PromoTheRobot Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I was convinced he earned a spot with the Bills in camp.
ajzepp Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I was convinced he earned a spot with the Bills in camp. Me too. I expected he'd stick around, at least for a while.
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Besides Justin Rogers, hard to argue for him over any of the corners on the roster right now.

I think he looked much better than Meeks and hope we weren't biased toward our draft picks if they were clearly out-performed. That said, I'm no expert, and perhaps Meeks will be better than Butler in a year or two. Also, who is Johnny Adams? Adams, a rookie, was just signed to the Bills practice squad just over a week ago. The Michigan State product went undrafted this past spring and initially signed with Houston. After being released Adams (5’11” 177) signed with Indianapolis where he competed in training camp, but was cut Aug. 26th.
GG Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Besides Justin Rogers, hard to argue for him over any of the corners on the roster right now. Isn't that the issue with Rogers now starting?
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Isn't that the issue with Rogers now starting? Well, it took a bunch of injuries for Rogers to start. But I thought Butler was completely awful in the last preseason game. But when Gilmore and Brooks return, Rogers should be nowhere near the field.

But when Gilmore and Brooks return, Rogers should be nowhere near the field. Agreed, but Gilmore was already out when the cuts were made, so Rogers was only a step away.
BringBackFergy Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I guess that explains why the Chargers are playing so well. First they swoop in and take Chas Rhinegold. Now they nab Christian Bugler to beef up their offensive line. I like how they move quick in the free agency market.
YoloinOhio Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 They must really dislike Butler, no way is he worse than Rogers.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I thought Butler missed two weeks of preseason due to injury? In the NFL it's something of a cardinal sin to be injured, especially when you're a young journeyman player trying to convince a coaching staff that you deserve a roster spot.
