Malcolm Butler should still be on Saints' radar (IMO)

Gil Brandt was saying right after the draft that this deal isn't dead even with the drafting of Lattimore.

The more time that passes, the less likely I think it is to happen. If he isn't traded for by the start of camp, I wouldn't think it would happen. Unless, of course, we start watching corners drop like flies again. I'd much rather Butler than another BW Webb type signing off the street (not a knock on Webb at all - he came in here and did a damn good job for someone who was selling cars or something when the season started.) if it happens again so early in camp/the season.

I could have picked any number of posts to quote here, but I picked this one to say injuries would be the only way this becomes a reality at this point. My bet would've been lost; I truly thought it was happening. Apparently, the Cheatriots became quite paranoid over their dearth of selections this year and wanted too much for him.

Next year, he's an unrestricted free agent and, if the reports out of Boston after the draft were accurate, he wants out anyway and we can have him for nothing if he truly wants to be here.
