NFL Notes: Malcolm Butler, Contracts, Draft, Giants

Malcolm Butler

  • Jeff Howe points out that neither the Saints nor the Patriots believe the No. 11 overall pick would be included in a trade for restricted free agent CB Malcolm Butler if a deal is completed.
  • Ben Volin of the Boston Globe writes that if the Patriots do end up trading Butler this offseason, it be another example of New England moving on from good players a year too soon, as opposed to a year too late.
  • Even if the Patriots hold onto Butler, they could recoup a third-round compensatory pick in 2019.
