re: isnt the titans #18 a better offer then just getting Malcolm Butler from pats?

if you are talking about the saints, they cant talk to him until he signs the tender allowing the pats to have the right to work out a deal for trading him so the pats can allow the saints to contact him because as of now he is still a restricted FA

This is not true. As a RFA he has the right to talk to teams about a contract, and then if offered bring that back to the Pats who match or decline.

It this specific case we wouldn't make an official offer, just talk numbers, he signs the tender, and then gets traded.

Cooks is the one that can't talk to other teams for 2 years.
