San Diego Chargers Linebacker Donald Butler has been released by the team

Just two years removed from his big contract extension, Tom Telesco and the San Diego Chargers have cut ties with much-maligned linebacker Donald Butler

The news is coming straight from the horses mouth himself.

I'm sure Butler is a great guy and we all wish him the best of luck moving forward. It just wasn't working out on the field and he increasingly saw his playing time diminish. By seasons end Butler was lucky to see the field on defense. The play of rookie Denzel Perryman made this an easy decision for the Chargers.
