Patriots Trying to Trade Malcolm Butler?

[AZ54]

I hadn't seen this posted anywhere but there is still potential to bring in a good CB.

Yesterday Pace said he's had some trade talks among all the other negotiations but that can be in any number of directions given our roster issues. If Butler is available this could be an intriguing option for us. Given the fact we also have to pay him a big contract the highest I'd go might be a 3rd Rd pick. I want to hold onto our 1st and 2nd Rd picks.

 

I don't really see the Patriots with any incentive to trade him other than hoping someone throws a 1st Rd pick at them. Then again they signed Gilmore to a massive deal so are they willing to pay two CBs $12-14mil/yr in 2018?

After Amukamara and Cooper, I can't see us going after Butler, even though I would not be opposed to it. I just don't think that is Pace's MO.
