Saints should pay for Malcolm Butler, try to win while they still have Drew Brees

METAIRIE, La. -- Malcolm Butler appears to be in play again for the New Orleans Saints after signing his restricted free agent tender with the New England Patriots on Tuesday -- which makes him eligible to be traded.

The Saints should go and get him.

Of course I know all the sensible reasons why they shouldn't overpay for Butler -- who will probably cost the No. 32 pick in next week's NFL draft (or the No. 42 pick, at the very least), as well as a lucrative long-term contract.
