Malcom Butler to the Seahawks?

What do you think about going out and getting Malcom Butler in free agency?

He’s gonna want a big contract even though he hasn’t been as good the past two seasons. Don’t think another high paid CB is what this team needs.

Not playing him a snap tonight was a weird call even if his play was down. BB said it was personnel related and not disciplinary but he is certainly better than the guys who played over him.

Well he was in tears before the game, playing special teams though, Bill doesn't disclose anything, something happened I would think.

I have to agree something happened it just seems weird, he acted like he had no idea why and practiced as the starter all week. Even Rowe who played for him said he was surprised. Unless Bill just truly didn’t like the WR match ups? Who knows... neither defense really did much anyway. Felt like a Texas Tech vs Oklahoma college game.

Isn't he too small for our prototypical outside CB? I think Coleman has the slot job locked down so I'm not sure if Butler would fit with what Pete wants to do.

"They gave up on me," Butler said after the game. "It is what it is."

The Patriots cornerback, the hero of Super Bowl XLIX, played a bit on special teams in the second half but not a single down on defense.

NBC asked Patriots coach Bill Belichick at halftime why Butler was not playing and reported that the coach said, "I made the decisions that give us the best chance to win."

No thanks. We have better and cheaper alternatives. If Brandon Browner didn’t tell him where to line up and the exact spot the ball was going on the “2nd and wrong” you wouldn’t know who Malcom Butler was today.

That's a little unfair. He actually was really good and consistent in 2015 and 2016 and regressed this year. He would've had to battle his way through training camp, but talent will out.

Not a hope in hell this happens IMO.

He is so overrated. Hes still dining out on xlix and thinks hes a great cb because of it. No thanks.

He can't cover big receivers... And obviously, Rowe can't either!

I like the crew they're going into the season with in the secondary anyways. I have a feeling Sherm will be hungry (he looked like his normal self even with a partially torn achilles for most of the year) and Shaq takes a big step forward with his offseason training. Plus Coleman looked good in the slot. See what happens with Kam, hopefully keep Mcdougald at a relatively fair contract, and work things out with Earl.

No way. His presence on the team would be detrimental to the locker room.

Would be an awkward first day, for sure!
