Guregian: Patriots doling out contracts, but not for Malcolm Butler

FOXBORO — The Patriots are knocking off deals left and right. They’re taking care of important players, cleaning up some business with a few guys that were seriously underpaid.

All-world tight end Rob Gronkowski had his deal reworked. Tom Brady’s go-to receiver Julian Edelman got an extension (two years, $11 million), and so did center David Andrews (three years worth up to $11 million).

So now they have a few more happy players in the locker room with respect to their contracts.

But what about Malcolm Butler?

Why can’t the Super Bowl XLIX hero land a new deal from the Patriots?
