Why would I even want him as a fourth/fifth WR?
Switzer is in the mix so at best, Butler would be splitting time as the fourth option with him based on situation.
I would much rather a young developmental guy like a Miles Austin for that spot, or conversely, a special teams ace like Dwayne Harris or Sam Hurd. Butler is neither. He's tapped out, he's all he's ever gonna be, and its an inconsistent part time fourth WR who won't even be on the field as that in situations where Switzer is better.
Butler is a player who at his age and salary demands, has to move into the top 3. But he's not better than Dez (or what we hope Dez to be) and he hasn't been able to unseat Terrence Williams. He's hit the end of the line. He has no where to go. He's a progress stopper with no upside to add anything but the occasional deep ball, mixed with frustrating inconsistency in every other facet of his game. Moncrief or Taylor Gabriel would have been better than him cause they are at least more consistent in their ability to put up stats in that role.
I'm done with Butler. He can move along. Noah Brown is better for his spot at this point. If we need speed it needs to come from a WR who has a chance of eventually being a quality starter and at least unseating Williams.
