Just a thought about this trade and Malcom Butler

Perhaps this trade was going to involve Butler but his tender has yet been signed. The Pats and Saints have a very good working relationship. What I think happened is the Saints pushed this tonight to avoid paying Cooks his bonus. I think we end up giving the Pats their 3rd back for Butler after he signs his tender and the whole deal ends up looking like Cooks and our 4th for Butler and the 32nd pick. It's not some conspiracy, I just think this is how it plays out.

I hope so

Would be the only thing that salvages this. But, why would the Pats do it now? They literally don't have to do anything and win the trade bigly already.

If it works that way I'd be happy. I don't think Butler is a great player, but he's a quality starter at a position where we need another quality starter.

Pretty sure he was rated the 2nd best CB in the league last year by PFF.

By thought of, do you mean plagiarized NFL.com?

That would add some lube to the dick NE just rammed in our asses. I hope that is the case.

Serious question..why did it have to be so rushed if this is the case?

Only way I could see it is if they were in agreement beforehand.

I just pray some kind of details come out soon before half this fanbase kills themselves.

It saved the Saints 700K in a bonus due to Cooks tomorrow.

I think this is what happens too

That $700k is not much savings as compared to how one-sided this trade presently stacks up. No way there's a back side deal to this. It would be voidable under NFLPA rules. This was just the Saints unloading Cooks. Bad, bad deal.

The Patriots can get a 3rd round comp pick for Butler if they let him walk, so why would they trade him now instead of getting a year of production out of him and then getting the same value?
If they trade Butler it would be for atleast a 2nd round pick

$700k is peanuts in the NFL. And it marginally raises his trade value if we pay it.
