Malcolm Butler has released a statement regarding the speculation surrounding his benching for the Super Bowl. Butler denied missing curfew, attending a Rick Ross concert, or taking part in “any of the ridiculous activities being reported.” Notably, the Instagram statement was liked by Tom Brady. Additionally, Damarius Travis and Brandon Browner offered comments in support of Butler. Browner had previously suggested all sorts of questions about what went down.
I really have no idea what to make of any of this. Butler had a bit of a down year, but he hits unrestricted free agency with a chance to make some big bucks.
