Final Transactions Of The 2024 NFL Season; Eagles Activate DE Brandon Graham From IR

February 9th, 2025 at 4:28pm CST by Ely Allen

FEBARUARY 9: With Graham active for tonight, Huff is amongst the Eagles’ healthy scratches. The latter had played in two of Philadelphia’s postseason games, and after signing a $17MM-per-year pact the fact he is not in the team’s Super Bowl lineup is a rather notable development. Most of Huff’s 2025 compensation is guaranteed, but his next action for Philadelphia will come next year.

FEBRUARY 8: The biggest game of the year will take place tomorrow night as the Chiefs are looking to threepeat for the first time in NFL history. The Eagles, on the other hand, are looking to avenge their Super Bowl loss to Patrick Mahomes and company from just two years ago. As has been the case all year, each team is allowed to elevate two players from their practice squad. Philadelphia has also taken the additional step to activate defensive end Brandon Graham from injured reserve.

Graham suffered a triceps tear in November, and it immediately became clear that he would not play again during the regular season. Triceps tears come with lengthy recovery timetables, and the 36-year-old said in the aftermath of the game in which his took place that he would be out for the rest of the year. As the season went on and the postseason drew nearer, hope began to rise that Graham would be able to make a return if the Eagles could last long enough to play in the Super Bowl.

To add on to that, Graham, who has spent his entire 15-year tenure in Philadelphia, said in July that he would retire following the 2024 campaign. If he is going to hold true to his word, he needed the team to keep winning in order to play one more game in green.

Luckily for Graham, his team held up their end of the bargain, and now, he’ll be able to hold up his. A Graham comeback will be significant for the Eagles, who have dealt with injuries to both he and Bryce Huff this season. Huff has since returned, though he is playing behind starters Josh Sweat and Nolan Smith in Vic Fangio‘s defense. At the time of his injury, Graham had already topped his 2023 full-season totals for sacks and QB hits in 11 games this season. The longest-tenured player in Eagles history was sitting on 3.5 and seven, respectively, in those categories when he went down against the Rams.

In order to make room on the roster, the Eagles have placed backup center Nick Gates on injured reserve. For their two practice squad callups, the Eagles have tabbed fullback Khari Blasingame and linebacker Nicholas Morrow. Blasingame has been elevated for all three of the team’s playoff games so far, while Morrow has been elevated for each of the last two.

The Chiefs only made standard gameday practice squad elevations today. Linebacker Swayze Bozeman and cornerback Steven Nelson will join the active roster for the final game of the season. Bozeman has played in two playoff games already for Kansas City, while Nelson will be making his 2024 debut.

Teams Calling Browns On Myles Garrett; Trade Still Considered Unlikely

February 9th, 2025 at 3:15pm CST by Adam La Rose

Myles Garrett opened Super Bowl week with his public trade request. His situation remains a major league storyline, although the Browns still have no intention of dealing away the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year.

[RELATED: Denzel Ward Could Seek Trade If Browns Deal Garrett]

Garrett’s remarks in recent days have confirmed his desire to be moved is not a ploy to secure new guarantees on another Cleveland extension. Rather, the four-time All-Pro wants to join a contender, a situation the Browns are unlikely to find themselves in coming off a 3-14 campaign. Quick turnarounds can and do happen in the NFL, but suitors with a more established quarterback situation can sell themselves as more desirable destinations for the remainder of Garrett’s prime.

“Speaking with the management of the Browns, at this current time, I don’t feel like our future is aligned with winning right now,” the 29-year-old said on ESPN’s Sunday Countdown (video link). “That’s what I’m looking forward to doing at this stage of my career. I have a lot of love for northeast Ohio and a community that brought me into the league. But I want to get to contending and winning playoff games and be in games like [the Super Bowl].

Teams are believed to be willing to offer the Browns at least one first-round pick (potentially two) in the event the team changes its stance. That has not happened yet, and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports interested teams do not expect their calls to result in serious traction on the trade front. Given the extent to which Garrett – who has two years left on his pact but no guaranteed money – is committed to a fresh start, though, interest could remain high in the build-up to the new league year in March.

Indeed, Dianna Russini of The Athletic writes teams from both conferences have been in touch with the Browns about the former No. 1 pick (subscription required). They have been informed a deal is still not under consideration, she adds, although Cleveland has apparently added “stay tuned” to the team’s response. Any number of suitors would be interested in at least exploring a trade on this front, and a bidding war could easily ensue amongst teams prepared to part with significant draft capital.

Garrett has amassed at least 10 sacks in each of the past seven years. The six-time Pro Bowler has added 107 tackles for loss over that span, one which has seen him cement his status as one of the best Browns in franchise history and one of the top defenders (regardless of position) in the league. If calls continue to come in, the possibility of a Garrett deal will remain a talking point around the NFL. It will be interesting to see if Cleveland’s front office will budge in the coming weeks or if this saga will stretch deep into the offseason.

Bills To Fire ST Coordinator Matthew Smiley

February 9th, 2025 at 2:26pm CST by Adam La Rose

In the wake of their season-ending in the AFC title game, Bills head coach Sean McDermott offered a vote of confidence in special teams coordinator Matthew Smiley. Buffalo will nevertheless be making a change on the sidelines.

The Bills are parting ways with Smiley, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. That represents a notable about-face on McDermott’s part, considering his remarks at the end of the campaign. Smiley had severed as special teams coordinator for the past three seasons.

“Matthew has done a nice job,” McDermott said at his season-ending press conference (via ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg). “Listen, I know there are plays that have come up, and I know he doesn’t feel great about them, nor do I. Those are learning pieces for a coach in his position… All that being said, I’m confident that Coach Smiley is going to learn from those situations and plays that came up this year.”

In spite of that sentiment, Buffalo will make a move in the third phase for 2025. Smiley’s unit was affected by the many defensive injuries the Bills dealt with early in the year in particular, but it still fell short of expectations. Personnel issues were a consistent problem in 2024, a year in which the team allowed a punt block return and a kick return touchdown. Overall, Buffalo’s 30.8 kick return yards allowed on average was the fifth-worst mark in the league.

Smiley, 46, first joined the Bills in 2017 as a special teams assistant. He previously worked in that capacity with the Jaguars from 2013-16 after working as a special teams coordinator on two occasions at the college level. He will now look to find his next opportunity late in the 2025 hiring cycle as McDermott and the Bills seek out a replacement capable of leading a more consistent showing on special teams moving forward.

Bills See RB James Cook As Core Player; Team Plans To Bolster CB Group In Offseason

February 9th, 2025 at 12:44pm CST by Rory Parks

The Bills see running back James Cook as a “big part” of their future, as Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported last month (video link). That is hardly surprising, as Cook has posted a robust 4.9 yards-per-carry average over his first three years in the NFL and led the league in rushing touchdowns (16) in 2024.

Because Cook, a 2022 draftee, is now eligible for an extension, it would be fair to expect Buffalo to engage in contract discussions with the two-time Pro Bowler’s camp this offseason (especially since he is a former second-round pick and does not have a fifth-year option included in his rookie deal). The problem, as Rapoport observes, is that Cook is just one of a number of talented young players whose contract situations may need to be addressed in short order.

Like Cook, linebacker Terrel Bernard, center Connor McGovern, cornerback Christian Benford, and edge defender Gregory Rousseau are all entering platform years, and Rapoport identifies that quintet as a group that could be in line for a new deal. GM Brandon Beane could deploy the franchise tag on one of those players next offseason if need be, but he will still have plenty of work to do to keep a championship-caliber core intact.

Indeed, despite the Bills’ inability to get over a Kansas City-sized hump in the AFC playoff field, Beane understandably is not going to overhaul his roster. In his end-of-season presser following another difficult playoff defeat at the hands of the Chiefs several weeks ago, Beane said he and his staff will “reset” and “recalibrate” as the Bills seek to advance to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1993 campaign (via Alex White and Maddy Glab of the team’s official website, who also name WR Khalil Shakir as a rising fourth-year pro who might be the target of extension talks).

Part of Beane’s offseason plan will almost certainly include negotiations with at least some members of Buffalo’s 2026 free agent class, but Beane naturally indicated he will first attend to the players who are due to hit the open market next month. That list includes players like midseason trade acquisition Amari Cooper – whose disappointing Buffalo stint did not foreclose the possibility of a new contract keeping the high-profile wideout in western New York – and cornerback Rasul Douglas.

Beane said he will not bloat the Bills’ salary cap picture with expensive contracts in an effort to slay their playoff demons, which is perhaps an indication that Buffalo will once again avoid the deep end of the free agent pool. However, he did concede that he will need to address the team’s outside cornerback position in some way.

The Bills’ lack of depth in that regard was on full display when Benford was injured in the first quarter of this year’s AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs and was lost for the remainder of the contest. That depth will become even more of a concern if the team does not re-sign Douglas.

“Whether it’s extending guys, signing a free agent, or draft allocation, [boundary corner] is one of the areas we would look at,” Beane said.

Underlying all of this is the fact that the Bills could look to give quarterback and newly-minted MVP Josh Allen a pay bump. If such a raise comes as part of an extension or restructure, it could allow the team to reduce Allen’s $43MM cap charge for 2025 and improve their salary cap situation (at present, OverTheCap.com estimates that Buffalo is roughly $14MM over the 2025 cap, the third-worst situation in the league).

Cardinals Owner Michael Bidwill Sued By Former Personal Assistant

February 9th, 2025 at 12:25pm CST by Rory Parks

Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill once again finds himself as a defendant in a civil proceeding. Bidwill’s former personal assistant, Brittany Neuheisel, recently filed a lawsuit against Bidwill, as Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk relays.

Neuheisel, 54, who worked for Bidwill from January 2019 through January 2025, filed an 11-page complaint with causes of action like constructive discharge, wrongful discharge, discrimination based on age, gender, and religion, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. As context for those various counts, she makes a number of strange and/or disturbing allegations.

For instance, Neuheisel avers that, during a meeting between Bidwill and his niece regarding the niece’s college studies, Neuheisel was instructed to remove the niece’s personal belongings from the car Bidwill had given to the niece so he could repossess and sell the car. Neuheisel says she was further instructed to take a video of the car being loaded onto a flatbed, a video Bidwill wanted to play for his niece.

Bidwill also allegedly disparaged Neuheisel for Neuheisel’s relationship with her own family, and Neuheisel further claims Bidwill’s pit bull attacked her. That attack did not stop Bidwill from later asking Neuheisel to take the dog to the park while he interviewed Monti Ossenfort for the club’s GM position.

As Florio notes, perhaps the most concerning allegation – at least as far as Bidwill’s standing in the NFL is concerned – is Neuheisel’s assertion that Bidwill instructed her to falsify certain information required by federal and international disclosures pertaining to Bidwill’s travel by private plane. Neuheisel additionally claims her former employer directed her to ship a firearm via FedEx and to ignore any restrictions regarding such a shipment.

According to Neuheisel, Bidwill eventually decided to replace her with someone “young, beautiful, and athletic,” and when he made that decision, he began to verbally abuse her and take other action to force her resignation. When, citing her traditional Catholic background, she resisted his alleged instructions to have her falsify information, he allegedly told her to follow his instructions and simply go to confession afterwards. And when the Cardinals allowed the Rams to use their stadium for last month’s postseason contest against the Vikings due to the Los Angeles-area wildfires, Neuheisel says Bidwill “shunned” her when introducing league commissioner Roger Goodell to employees in Bidwill’s suite. Similarly, Bidwill allegedly berated Neuheisel after Rams owner Stan Kroenke did not visit the suite to personally thank the Cardinals owner for his hospitality.

Of course, this is not the first time a former employee has sued Bidwill. Less than one year ago, an arbitrator awarded former Cardinals exec Terry McDonough $3MM – the bulk of which was comprised of punitive damages – for “false and defamatory” statements that the team made about him to the media after McDonough’s original arbitration filing (which stemmed from allegations of using burner phones during then-GM Steve Keim‘s suspension and McDonough’s subsequent demotion and dismissal upon taking issue with the burner phone gambit).

Although the arbitrator dismissed McDonough’s claims regarding his actual firing, the win was notable because it came through the NFL’s in-house arbitration process, which is generally skewed in favor of league owners. McDonough, his wife, and his daughter subsequently filed a lawsuit against the team, Bidwill, and others, an action that is still pending.

As of yet, there have been no reports suggesting that Bidwill’s fellow owners will consider ousting Bidwill from their ranks or at least putting pressure on him to sell the team. Still, the allegations in McDonough’s and Neuheisel’s actions could, if substantiated, warm Bidwill’s seat.

In the wake of Neuheisel’s suit, the Cardinals released a statement adamantly denying the allegations contained therein (via Florio). The statement reads:

“Earlier this week, the Cardinals received an email from a California-based plaintiff’s lawyer. In it, he threatened to file a lawsuit unless the team agreed to his demand for a substantial amount of money by 5:00PM the next day. The team refused and the lawyer has now filed the Complaint. The Cardinals were surprised by and strongly deny the allegations made in this lawsuit and intend to defend the case on its merits in the appropriate forum. As this is now pending litigation, the team will refrain from further comment.”

Support In Steelers’ Building For Retaining Justin Fields Over Russell Wilson?

February 8th, 2025 at 10:57pm CST by Adam La Rose

As the countdown to free agency continues, the Steelers are still weighing their quarterback options. An external addition should not be expected, but maintaining a Russell Wilson–Justin Fields tandem for 2025 would also be a surprise.

Owner Art Rooney II recently noted Pittsburgh will likely re-sign only one of Wilson or Fields this offseason while aiming to achieve continuity under center and also find a long-term solution at the QB spot. Wilson suffered a calf injury late in training camp which allowed for Fields to handle starting duties for the first six weeks of the season. The former Bears first-rounder helped his stock within the organization during that 4-2 span, but Wilson took the over QB1 gig when healthy.

Head coach Mike Tomlin‘s decision on that front was not unanimous, an indication of the support Fields had to continue as starter and, potentially, to remain with the Steelers. Indeed, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports there are “some people” in the organization who prefer to re-sign the 25-year-old and by doing so allow Wilson to depart in free agency. The team is known to be interested in retaining Fields, so that update comes as little surprise.

Still, it became clear as the season wore on that Tomlin’s clear preference was for Wilson to remain atop the depth chart despite his and the team’s struggles down the stretch. The Steelers’ offense repeatedly came up short as a five-game losing streak ended their campaign in the wild-card round, illustrating the need for upgrades at several positions. Expectations would be tempered if Wilson, 36, were to remain in place – something which would require a more lucrative commitment than the veteran minimum salary he played for in 2024.

As Fowler notes, the prospect of a undisputed starting gig will no doubt be a top priority for Fields as he weighs his options. The Ohio State product has not developed as hoped as a passer during his career, but his age and rushing ability could make him one of the more intriguing QBs on the open market. Sam Darnold is the top option set to reach free agency, but a lack of proven passers (coupled with an underwhelming draft class) could leave Fields considering offers from a number of suitors.

One of those prospective teams could of course be the Steelers, especially if the sect in the organization which favors retaining him manages to convince Tomlin and/or general manager Omar Khan to go the younger route under center. Pittsburgh looms as a team to watch regarding a notable quarterback draft investment this year or next, as Rooney alluded to last month. Before a decision is made on that front, however, one will be required regarding Fields’ future.

Davante Adams “Intrigued” By Move To West Coast; Jets Have Not Been In Contact

February 8th, 2025 at 10:43pm CST by Ben Levine

10:43pm: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network confirms a move out west will be something to watch for in the event Adams is released (video link). Notably, he adds the new Jets regime of general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn has not yet been in contact with Adams’ camp about a potential restructured deal. Until discussions on that front take place, this situation will be filled with uncertainty.

11:12am: Davante Adams has been generally noncommittal about a return to the Jets. The star receiver’s contract allows him to effectively control his own destiny, and if he wishes to move on from New York, he may be eyeing a move west.

[RELATED: Davante Adams On Future With Jets]

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Adams is “intrigued” by a move to the west coast, with a source specifically pointing to the Rams and Chargers as an option. Fowler also adds the 49ers as a potential suitor, noting Adams’ connection to Northern California.

Adams’ two-plus season stint in Las Vegas ended this past season when he was traded to the Jets. Despite teaming up with old friend Aaron Rodgers, things obviously didn’t go as planned. The Jets went 3-8 when Adams was in the lineup, and the veteran ended up finishing with his fewest yards from scrimmage since the 2019 campaign. Following the season, Adams admitted he “would love to be a part of this football team,” although he cautioned that a number of factors would come into play (including the status of Rodgers).

While Adams is technically signed through the 2026 season, he has the ability to push his way out of New York. The Jets previously restructured the wideout’s 2024 salary without touching his 2025 and 2026 figures, leaving untenable base salaries of $35.6MM for each of the next two seasons. If the Jets want to keep Adams, they’ll surely require another restructured deal to keep the wideout on the books. If the receiver decides he wants out, he could simply decline the inevitable restructure request, which would ultimately lead to his release.

Considering Adams’ track record, he wouldn’t have a lack of suitors should he hit free agency, and each of the cited teams could make sense. The Rams are looking to move on from Cooper Kupp, which would open a significant spot in their receivers room opposite Puka Nacua. Kupp’s health concerns have surely played a role in the Rams’ decision to move on, although the team is also making it clear that they’re not looking to pay $20MM for a veteran WR.

The Chargers got a standout season from rookie Ladd McConkey, but there are questions behind their young wide receiver. Former first-round pick Quentin Johnston is still under contract, but the second-year player struggled with drops and inconsistency in 2024. Much of the rest of the team’s depth chart, which includes the likes of Josh Palmer, DJ Chark, and Simi Fehoko, are set to hit free agency, so the team could be in the market for another notable pass catcher.

The 49ers are loaded with pass catchers. Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings are attached to veteran pacts, and the team added a pair of rookies last year in first rounder Ricky Pearsall and fourth rounder Jacob Cowing (not to mention tight end George Kittle, who led the team in receiving yards). The organization has shown an ability to juggle multiple offensive stars, but an Adams acquisition would surely push another big name off the roster.

Nick Chubb Wants To Re-Sign With Browns

February 8th, 2025 at 10:39pm CST by Ben Levine

Nick Chubb‘s career has hit a few speed bumps over the past couple of years. The Browns star suffered a torn MCL and damaged ACL that limited him to two games in 2023. He returned to the field this past October, but his 2024 campaign ended early thanks to a broken foot.

Now, the running back faces an uncertain future as he enters free agency. If Chubb had his way, he’d remain in Cleveland for the rest of his career. The veteran told Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal that he’d “of course” prefer to re-sign with the only team he’s ever played for and would like to complete a deal “sooner than later.” The RB also cautioned that he’s “not sure how it’ll work” since it’s his first true trip to free agency.

“Man, just for me, the city of Cleveland means lot,” Chubb said. “To me, it’s a special place. The people in Cleveland make it great, the fans and just the people around the city. But always a special place to me in my heart. I loved it here and it will always be home, no matter what.”

Chubb went on a historic run through his first five years in the NFL, averaging 1,466 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns per season. This culminated in a 2022 campaign when he compiled 1,764 offensive yards and 13 scores en route to his first All-Pro nod. Then, as mentioned, Chubb’s career hit some major setbacks. He’s been limited to only 10 games across the past two seasons, and his half-season return in 2024 saw him average a career-low 3.4 yards per touch.

This next deal will represent the third contract of Chubb’s career; the former second-round pick inked a three-year, $36.6MM extension with the Browns in 2021. The team reworked that contract last offseason to assure Chubb would remain in Cleveland for the 2024 campaign, but his future beyond that is very much uncertain. Browns GM Andrew Berry previously acknowledged the RB’s contributions to the organization while also describing the player’s impending free agency as a “challenging situation,” a potential hint that the team may look to move on.

While Chubb’s recent foot injury isn’t expected to impact his 2025 availability, the player’s recent injury history will surely impact his market value. While teams should be willing to gamble on his past production, the impending free agent will be hard pressed to garner a lucrative contract in free agency. Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs barely cracked $12MM average annual values last offseason, while Derrick Henry had to settle for a two-year, $16MM deal. Chubb will likely have to opt for a prove-it deal this offseason, although perhaps he could earn back some money via incentives.

That contract could still come from the Browns, who don’t necessarily have a succession plan at the position. Jerome Ford didn’t necessarily run away with the job while filling in for Chubb, and the former fifth-round pick is one of only two RBs signed for the 2025 campaign (along with Pierre Strong).

Zach Ertz Will Play In 2025; Noah Brown Hopes To Re-Sign With Commanders

February 8th, 2025 at 10:26pm CST by Adam La Rose

Zach Ertz enjoyed a strong 2024 campaign upon reuniting with Kliff Kingsbury and playing for the Commanders. The veteran tight end demonstrated the production he is still capable of, and as a result he has no intention of hanging up his cleats.

“I don’t know what the future holds,” the three-time Pro Bowler said (video link via Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post). “I still want to play football next year. I just want to make that clear that I’m not retiring.”

Ertz’s best years came during his tenure with the Eagles, which began in 2013 and lasted midway through the 2021 campaign. He made a notable first impression for Kingsbury and Co. in Arizona, but in the following two seasons he was limited to a total of 17 contests and saw his production drop off. In 2024, however, a resurgence took place, resulting in a 66-654-7 statline.

Approaching his age-35 season, Ertz is a pending free agent. He is clearly looking for a new deal to continue his career, and it would come as no surprise if the Commanders looked to give him another short-term deal this spring (especially since Kingsbury turned aside head coaching interest to remain in the nation’s capital for 2025). Failing that, any number of teams in need of a pass-catching addition at the TE spot could look to add him for next season.

Ertz played on a $3MM pact in 2024, one which featured $1.96MM in up-front guarantees. The Stanford product will no doubt look to increase the latter figure on his next contract, but with the third-most projected cap space in the league this offseason, the Commanders should be able to comfortably afford a raise. It will be interesting to see if the sides can work out a deal before free agency starts next month.

In other Commanders news, wideout Noah Brown said (via Jhabvala) he wants to remain in Washington for 2025. The former Cowboys draftee was among the familiar faces who followed head coach Dan Quinn to the nation’s capital this past offseason (having spent 2023 in Houston). His debut Commanders campaign was of course highlighted by the Week 8 win which featured a Hail Mary pass he was on the receiving end of; overall, Brown averaged 12.9 yards per catch as a complementary receiving option before suffering a season-ending injury in December.

Adding a high-end producer to their pass-catching core (one which is lacking in star power outside of Terry McLaurin) is a goal for the Commanders this offseason. At least some new faces will no doubt be brought in at the tight end and receiver spots as a result, but Ertz and Brown are candidates to be retained on new deals.

Adam Butler Seeking Raise; DT Hopes To Re-Sign With Raiders

February 8th, 2025 at 7:31pm CST by Adam La Rose

After sitting out the 2022 campaign, Adam Butler joined the Raiders on a low-cost deal. That one-year pact proved to be a worthwhile investment for the team, something which was essentially duplicated last offseason.

Playing on another one-year deal in 2024, Butler again proved to be a key contributor on defense for Vegas. The 30-year-old matched last season’s sack total (five) while posting 15 pressures along with a career-high 65 tackles and logging by far the heaviest workload of his career with a 77% snap share. As a result, Butler is among the team’s most notable free agents.

As The Athletic’s Vic Tafur notes, the Vanderbilt product “would love” to re-sign once more with the Raiders (subscription required). Butler is, however, seeking a more lucrative pact this time around. He played on a $1.55MM deal in 2023; that figure rose to $1.8MM this past year. Considering his production, the former UDFA could command a raise on the open market this spring, particularly on a short-term contract.

The Raiders currently sit second in the NFL in projected 2025 cap space, so the team will the option of preventing players like Butler from reaching free agency. Along the defensive interior, the team already has one major contract on the books in the form of 2024 free agent addition Christian Wilkins. Butler is not in line for a deal in the vicinity of the $27.5MM-per-year one Wilkins signed last year, but losing him on the open market would create a notable vacancy. That would especially be true if fellow DT starter John Jenkins were to also depart as a free agent.

Of course, the Raiders have a new regime in place compared to the one which elected to re-sign Butler last year. General manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll will need to decide if authorizing a raise will be worthwhile as the team evaluates other positions of need after a 4-13 season. If Butler does reach free agency, it will be interesting to see how strong his market proves to be.
