Signed by Cowboys Brice Butler re-signs with the Cowboys

[Carson]

Butler, McCown and some bottle barrel guys. Not bad

 

[Stash]

I'll agree with you here. I'll also say through as a former athlete it could be frustrating just having a few opportunities. Sometimes you press. None of us know if we're done at the wr position in free agency and draft.... But I'm m hoping if Butler's role does increase so too will his consistency. It's not uncommon.

As long as this means the Cowboys aren't paying Terrance Williams the $6-$8 million a year that was being talked about, I think it's a great move.

Like you've said, pay your 4th or 5th option accordingly.

 

[CF74]

Physical potential through the roof, now just get the mental part right..

 

[tyke1doe]

Take that Giants!

Nice!

 

[tyke1doe]

Dude. Literally tearing up over that one!

Me too!

I'm not for paying Williams that. I'm all for upgrading the No. 2 spot, which we haven't done with this move. You might look at it as the fourth or fifth option, but I look at it as getting another player who can put pressure on the defense. That opens things up even more for your first, second and third options.

Taking a step back at No. 2 receiver doesn't make us stronger. ... But I'm OK with this move for depth purposes.

 

[LittleD]

We got Butler...Our New #2... So who needs Britt now.
We're done so on to the draft. FA is finished after McCown signs.

 

[Sydla]

Britt won't be cheap

What do you think he'll get?

Maybe I am totally in left field but I think he's going to get less than Marshall.

No, I'm not saying re-signing Butler is "the answer", just that I much prefer that to overpaying Williams to be that 4th or 5th option. I don't think that this closes the book on anything else.

 

[perrykemp]

Honestly, some people here are down on him, I think opposite Dez he can have a good year. He made some big catches for us this season.

I'm not down on him per say... I just look at him as a WR who is entering his 5th year in the league and has averaged 16 catches 215 yards over his career. He has never broken 300 yards.

I don't think he has it in him to be anything other than a WR4/WR5 and, when circumstances warrant it, temporarily a WR3.

As you aren't planning on him having sort of magical "break-out" year, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

 

[Sydla]

Not based on Garcon's reported numbers from San Francisco!

Be careful with that though. That could be a strangely structured deal that won't have much of an effect on the market.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I mean the #2 spot, which if he is opposite Dez, he would be.

I think they are going to sign someone else. I dont think Butler is the going to be the starter.

 

[Stash]

I think he gets more than that $6 million a year average. I think the Giants really got a deal.

LOL but not totally unexpected.

I think that this market is set to be all kinds of crazy.

 

[SDCowboy]

I think they are going to sign someone else. I dont think Butler is the going to be the starter.

Who do you see as our starting #2 then? I'm hoping it's someone in the draft, but I suppose time will tell.

 

[Risen Star]

I think they are going to sign someone else. I dont think Butler is the going to be the starter.

I hope not. He's a 4 or 5.

 

[Shuff]

They get Marshall and we get Butler.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Honestly with an increased role butler could put up Williams numbers. They're both dumb players with average hands but decent #4 options. (Dez,Beasley,witten)

 

[Texas_Pete]

I'm happy. He's my pet cat. He just needs to be consistent. The talent is there.
