None of us have a clue what's going on at the moment, but I don't see why Butler would be waiting for the Saints to tell him to sign his tender. I feel like even if Butler signed his tender today with intention to be traded and signed here, that there will be a few days in between those actions. Signing the tender and immediately trading him could draw the attention of Godell, as it is basically working around/finding a loophole in the RFA process.

These things ALWAYS happen like this.

Literally every RFA trade has been two teams talk trade, player talks to new team about deal, they agree and he signs tender and is traded and signs the new deal usually all in a day or two.

The only difference here is the teams involved.

anyone ever think about the fact maybe butler is waiting on the saints to give the green light to him to go sign the tender.

well if he signs he is locked in with the pats so I can see where its "possible" butler is waiting for the saints to signal the teams have settled on the trade terms before signing in case he doesn't want to play for the pats for that tendered price.

I doubt that is the case, but it "could be" one of several things hanging that is holding this up.

not saying im agreeing with his view, just saying his view has some reasoning behind it
