Report: Ex-Patriots CB Malcolm Butler considering NFL comeback

Will we see Malcolm Butler back on the field in 2022?

The former New England Patriots cornerback signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals last offseason, but he decided to retire due to personal reasons in August. Now, he's apparently mulling an NFL comeback.

NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday the Cardinals released Butler from the reserve/retired list, and the Super Bowl XLIX hero is considering a return next season.
