I'm still wondering what is up with Butler


they don't "want to let him go" they tendered him a good offer but he hasn't signed it because he wants more money, as I think everyone knows, the patriots don't do that, they pay players cheap and when they want to get paid they try to move them to another team for draft picks or trades.

they are in no rush to let him go but cooks is worth it "if" he will work out a deal with new Orleans, but first he must sign the offer the pats tendered him with. i am sure that is the hold up on the trade at this point.

if the trade doesn't happen I think the pats work definitely out a deal with him rather then get into a situation where he decides to sit out a year

He hasn't signed it yet because there is (an unrealistic) chance someone gives him an offer he can bring to the Pats to match or decline.

In the end he will end up signing it and playing with the Pats.

This just isn't true. They literally just gave out a big money contract to another CB.

What they won't do is give someone more than they think they are worth. But they have big time paid several players throughout the years.

As for the OP questions, I wouldn't take 18 or Butler straight up for Cooks but if I had to choose it would be the proven Butler over a crapshoot draft pick.
