Imagine wanting a TE who has averaged barely 500 yards/season in the 1st round.

At least Butler will get a chance to replace Star.

Dude, trying to insinuate that he is a bust without the context of what has gone on since he's been drafted makes little sense.

He is clueless to Henry’s worth playing behind Gates.

Henry hasn't exactly set the NFL ablaze, but we can't exactly pound our chests over Vernon Butler either.

What stings the most is that the Saints got an absolute stud of a WR in the 2nd round in Michael Thomas while we reached on a small school "hog mollie" in the late 1st.

Not a bust, just not worth the 1st rounder that most in here wanted. Though you could certainly make the same argument for Butler.

He won't get a chance. We signed Poe to start. More specifically, we signed Poe to fill Star's role. Butler will remain a rotational guy in his 3rd NFL season. Great 1st round pick...

I believe Butler is an UT...not NT.  He was never drafted to replace Star.

Couldn't beat out a 35 y/o TE in an offense that's been without their #1 offensive weapon (Keenan Allen) for half his time with the team. Also could make that same argument for Butler's worth playing behind Star, considering his impact on ST.

The main reason why I was against the pick to begin with. Back to back seasons we spent 1st round picks on depth at positions of strength while we had painfully glaring needs. Michael Thomas would've addressed one of those glaring needs. So would Landon Collins the year before.

Imagine this team minus Shaq and Butler, but with Michael Thomas at WR and Landon Collins at S. I realize these types of revisionist history scenarios can be done every year, but those two really sting.

To put that into context,That 35 year old is probably one of the best to ever play the position and future hall of famer...Who was still productive.

Ok, you apparently have something against Hunter. That’s fine. I disagree.

Probably was going to have a great year with Rivers also throwing to Allen ,Wlliams and Gordon out of the back field. lot of weapons couldnt cover them all

I think Butler is more likely to be replaced by a practice squad DT than replace Star
