The New England Patriots need help at cornerback, and they're considering all options -- including one that might raise a few eyebrows.
The Patriots are hosting free-agent cornerback Malcolm Butler for a tryout Monday at Gillette Stadium, The Boston Globe's Ben Volin reports.
Butler has plenty of history with New England: Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2014, Butler intercepted Russell Wilson at the goal line to help the Patriots win Super Bowl XLIX. Three years later, he was mysteriously benched for the team's Super Bowl LII loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and signed a five-year, $65 million contract with the Tennessee Titans prior to the 2018 season.
