Didn't play a single down on defense, after playing 98% of them during the season. That's weird
Belichick called it a "football decision", Butler said "I guess they didn't think I was playing good". Nobody called it a disciplinary matter
That's concerning for me, and that may be an indication Butler is gone next year. There are also reports other players in the locker room are not happy about it either.
Of course, that's the type of stuff that happens after you lose in the SB.
I don't think Butler, an unrestricted free agent now, will be coming back. But I also think he could have helped yesterday. I know he wouldn't have hurt that defensive performance. Butler makes one on one tackles on those crossing patterns, and the Patriots didn't do that very well last night
