Former New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler’s storybook ending crumbled prematurely in 2022.
Four years after making the decision to leave the Patriots for the Tennessee Titans, the Super Bowl XLIX hero returned to New England in hopes of finishing his career where it all started in 2014, as an undrafted rookie out of West Alabama.
But those hopes were ultimately cut short after an injury landed him on injured reserve before the season. He agreed to an injury settlement with the Patriots and was released last August.
When asked if he still thinks that storybook ending is possible with the Patriots, Butler left the door open for another reunion.
