re: I doubt a trade happens any earlier than right before the draft now

I think the holdup at this point, assuming the deal is pick #32 and butler for cooks, is both teams are awaiting on butler to commit to terms on a new deal with us or say no, I think the whole deal hinges on that alone at this point

This. I think if Butler doesn't want it then we decline and agree with the Titans deal for the 18th pick.
