Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com expects NFL teams to contact the Patriots about the availability of CB Malcolm Butler in the coming weeks.
Breer mentions that Butler did not start their Week 2 game against the Saints and has seen his playing reduced much like Jamie Collins did last year before he was surprisingly traded to the Browns before the October deadline.
As for a potential trade partner, Breer believes the Eagles could make sense for Butler. Breer adds that the Eagles could make LB Mychal Kendricks available for Butler, given that Kendricks could fill a big need for New England and has reportedly been on the trade block for a few years now.
