They usually don't sign long term big contract and will get someone else for cheaper.
They basically just gave Gilmore the contract butler wanted

They could have given Butler the contract and had just him, Signed Gilmore and then have Butler for 1 more season at $3.91 million, or sign Gilmore and trade Butler for a high draft pick. Sounds to me that the Patriots are doing what benefits them the most. I don't think it says anything negative about Butler. They are just getting the most value out of him that they can.

They sign plenty of guys for big contracts

Gilmore is a very good player, and Butler is tendered.
So they're going to pay someone of similar level of Butler and turn Butler into assets.
Gilmore + 32nd or 44th pick > Butler for 1 year

But doesn't anyone find it a little weird that butler is supposedly so good but the pats went out and gave Gilmore the big contract and not their very own SB hero?
They let one of the best defensive players in the NFL walk just last year. They'll go after value and sign FA's instead. They have that luxury with their player development they've been able to retain.

They just re-signed Hightower for a 4-year $43.5 million deal. $19 million of that is guaranteed. This is concerning. Why do they not want Butler and instead gave that money to Gilmore? There is something fishy going on here and the Saints are about to get fleeced by the Patriots for a second time in one offseason.
