Brice Butler Eager To Deliver On Potential After Settling In With Cowboys’ WRs

IRVING, Texas – Entering his second season with the Cowboys,Brice Butler has a much better idea of what to expect in 2016 – and that pertains to far more than just football.
It’s easy to forget now, after the turbulent 2015 season that saw the Cowboys finish 4-12, but Butler’s induction to the organization was a trial by fire. After being acquired in a trade just two days after Dez Bryant broke his foot, Butler spent most of the season adapting on the fly.
“With the trade and all of that, it’s a lot of stress that – you don’t think of it, because you feel like you’re ok, but really that’s a lot of stress,” he said. “You lose your job, then you find out you’ve got a job, then you fly somewhere else and then you come here and it’s hot as crap.”
The climate was an obvious adjustment for a guy coming from Oakland, where Butler said the Raiders practice in 65-degree weather. On top of that, there was the little task of replacing Bryant, whose injury left the Cowboys without their primary touchdown threat.
“One of the challenges with players when they come into your team during the regular season is they don’t have a real foundation with you,” said Cowboys coach Jason Garrett. “They’re kind of picking things up on the run and they’re learning game plans and they’re learning your system as you’re getting ready to play a game.”
