"I don't know what it was. I guess I wasn't playing good or they didn't feel comfortable. I don't know. But I could have changed that game." Working with McDermott and playing next to Tre White could form an awesome duo if we cant keep Gaines. What do you guys think too much $$? I think too much dollars for what we need. If there's one unit on the team where McDermott did a beautiful job putting it together from rookies and scraps, it was our secondary. We need to throw FA money at improving the lines (both sides), LB esp. ILB, and WR 1
Charlottebillsfan2 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Absolutely unreal that he was benched. I cant wait for this story to come out on why. That decision cost the pats big time last night!!
Doc Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 36 minutes ago, Boyst62 said: This. Butler needs to be the 3rd cb in the field. Needs big safety help. Not the type to jump in there and make a difference when it comes to stopping power or physical presence Gilmore can hit but he's Similar to Butler. New England desperately needs at least one safety. They're !@#$ed for next year because of it. Gilmore was doing all he could to avoid contact last night. 1
DCOrange Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 No, at his cost, signing Butler doesn't make any sense for this team.
NewEra Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Not a chance. Decent player, but going to cost way too much. Much rather pay Gaines 8-9 mill per.
CommonCents Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 If you wanted to pay top dollars for a CB then they should have paid Bouye. Doesn't make sense to do it now unless they thing his grudge against NE will turn him into Revis.
Lofton80 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Gilmore can hit???? He can cover but by no means does he hit. 1

Solomon Grundy Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 In a heartbeat!! He'd give us the "Lawyer Milloy effect"

JohnBonhamRocks Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Would rather just re-sign Gaines or go after Cockrell for far less $.
ProcessTheTrust Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 I like the chip on his shoulder thing, but we already tried that in a form of a HC. Realistically, Butler has been the beneficiary of getting away with def holding/PI almost every play because of the team he plays for. If he had to play without holding onto a guy all downfield, not sure he's even average.
Big Turk Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Not for the price tag he is going to command I wouldn't. The question shouldnt be "Would you want Malcolm Butler?" The question should be "Would you want Malcolm Butler for $10+ million a year?" The first answer is yes. The second answer is hell no.
dave mcbride Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 12 hours ago, Kelly the Dog said: He was a backup when he made that Super Bowl play. BB signed Gilmore to an obscene contract, which was in some way a statement about Butler. He tried to trade him. Then benched him for the SB. No thanks. I never thought he was that good to begin with. If you didn't like Gilmore you would hate Butler. Gilmore was PFF's 6th rated CB overall this year. Butler was 51st. Gilmore played really well in the postseason too. He was the only consistently decent defender on the field for the Pats yesterday.
JAMIEBUF12 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 i'd pass,i would rather draft our own cb to go on the other side of tre..........buffalo seems to do very well drafting corners 2 hours ago, DCOrange said: You think he wants to play for Patricia after last night?

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 My opinion changed a bit if the story on why he was benched is true.... showing up late to team events, and wasted during what is very simply your most important business trip of the year. If he’s doing that nonsense, he’s probably not worth the big dollars it would take
