Still no word on Darius Butler ??? This surprises me ...

Butler has spent the past five seasons with the Colts, playing in 67 games (starting 24) and recording 214 tackles, 41 passes defensed, 12 interceptions (three touchdowns), and six forced fumbles. Last year, he played in 12 games and started seven of them, recording 33 tackles, seven passes defensed, three interceptions, and a forced fumble. He was productive as a slot cornerback and also spent time at safety, where he wants to move full-time

Butler should have been signed by now. Last year he proved that he can play safety while still retaining a nose for the football which has always been an unappreciated strength of his. What's more, we know exactly what we have in him. Why replace him with a jag? Even if we draft a safety he would be a reliable backup and a positive veteran influence in the secondary. Can't imagine he would command an unacceptable contract.

Some dipshit projected 3 years, $11.4M with $3.7M guaranteed. I have to agree that is probably the range where Butler will sign. If so, I would have liked to have him back for that price.

I would give him that, oh wait a minute I don't have that much ... I could give him $2.58 and 20 minutes with Omaha's better half ...

I am kind of interested in Trumaine Johnson for our 2nd. He is proven but of course he has a cost associated with him.

I like the idea of drafting players but but this team needs pieces now. I would hope it would end up as good as the VD trade.

Like Omaha said in an earlier post. (Paraphrase). We have holes and money so it isn't that big of a deal if we overspend a little to get what we need.
