Summary: Vernon Butler reportedly got turned down from woman from instagram for her number. Woman claims he pushed her down some stairs. Attorney says security escorted her out of Butler’s party. Investigation on-going. Class C assault charge.

Again, like in Reuben Foster and LeSean McCoy’s case, it’s best to wait it out and let him be innocent until proven guilty. 

EDIT: @KB_fan brings this up:

this thread is gonna be interesting that's for sure.

 

based on what I've seen of Butler, I can see it. He's had plays where he's acted on emotion over logic and got extra after plays were done.

"The woman said Butler asked her for her number in a nightclub and she refused, and he then threw ice at her face, and pushed her out of the VIP section. She said she fell down the stairs, and he pushed her a second time, leaving her with a bruise on her face. She was then escorted from the club."

There were almost certainly witnesses. Here we go.

Yeah, or hidden security cameras. This is the type of thing that would be easy to confirm or deny with video footage. Pretty sure at least some hotels/apartments hide cameras in stairwells.

 

If it's true he should never play a game for us again

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
