And then Tavon Austin might become the best player available. Or Richardson, Mingo or Patterson.

Yeah, I forgot about that (wonder why?). He won't make the squad.

I didn't know Butler was an asset on special teams too. This is good news

ProFootballFocus writeup:

While he won't receive the same pay day of his current Dallas teammate Anthony Spencer, outside linebacker Victor Butler has the potential to be one of the bargains of the offseason for the right team. Playing just 300 snaps for the Cowboys this past year, Butler had a Pass Rushing Productivity rating of 9.4, with three sacks, three hits and nine hurries from 127 pass rushing snaps.

He's far from a sure thing, with this being the most snaps he's seen in a season in his four-year career, but Butler has earned his shot at a starting gig. Grading positively both as a pass rusher and against the run in each of the past three seasons, Butler has shown that he's good enough on a limited number of snaps, and now comes his chance to do it as a starter.

Now its time for some extensive film study on him - I was holding off until we signed him. Those endzone cameras are God-sent.

Payton: "Ok Mickey - go and find defense in FA. After a year out of football you'd better believe I'm drafting Offense in the first round, son."

Mickey - *goes off to look for change in a couch*

Encarcedated Bob, is that you?

Good signing, he will definitely push for a starting role. We still have zero depth at OLB though. I see Tez as being serviceable on the outside but could be an animal on the inside so I guess we could count him as OLB depth.
