BeastMode54 Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Butler was put in a less than ideal situation and was much better than Jefferson, and Addison for that matter. He's young (26) and will be playing his normal position next year. Young piece to move forward with, and he will get paid once the cap goes up 21 3 2

Of all of the DL cannon fodder mentioned around here he was by far my favorite. 2
Mark Vader Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Not too thrilled that he's staying, but taking a pay cut does help, so good on him. 1

whatdrought Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 It was a 6 million hit before, right? Gotta hope it’s at least in the 2-3 range now. Don’t love keeping him at Jefferson’s expense. 2 1
TheyCallMeAndy Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Cutting him would have saved about 5 million
GunnerBill Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 If it is a cut with escalators to earn some of it back a la Morse then I am in favour. It can't be a kick the can move though because he is a FA after 2021....
Process Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Should have just let him go, IMO. But this is better than nothing. 1

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 I think when he was healthy, he played well enough and the defense seemed to improve toward the end of the year. At the right price, he's ok. Getting star back and getting an edge disrupter will make a difference. Another LB or 2 also.
MJS Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 If you cut him you still have to sign a guy to replace him. Restructuring makes sense. 10

Don’t love keeping him at Jefferson’s expense. This. He was set to make 5.5 million which is an incredible overpay, I saw nothing from him and the initial contract was a headscratcher. Hope he took few million pay cut.
TheyCallMeAndy Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 I get he’s 330, but I always got the feeling he was a Oliver type rather than Star.

Exactly he's a penetrating DT not a take on blockers NT, there's a difference. Butler was signed to replace Jordan Phillips and when Star didn't return we kinda forced him to be the big man in the middle yet that's not what he's all about.
