Darius Butler released

[Car123]

Panthers would have first dibs on claiming CB Darius Butler off waivers. Can't imagine them not taking a chance on him. Nothing to lose.

From what I'm hearing from NE fans, sounds like we should keep Captain at #2 and let Butler play at nickel.

He isn't THAT good guys, just a solidish slot corner who has starting experience. He is an upgrade to our roster, however he is also very similar to two of our existing corners...

I can live with that.

Have we claimed him yet? How about now?

[rico6]

Yeah yeah yeah, better than the crap we have now. Go get him.

That's okay, we need another capable body at that position and the guy has plenty of room left for development.

And... the Bengals have claimed Butler.

Kidding, kidding! :lol:

[jayflip]

Why isn't he claimed yet? Did he get waived during Hurney's naptime???

Not cool.

[Catalyst]

Pretty sure if we did claim him it'd take an hour or so for the news to break.

He would have updated his twitter by now.

[Catalyst]

I have no idea how long the waiver process takes, TBH.

[davos]

He would have updated his twitter by now.

Someone should just straight up ask him if he's gotten any calls
