According to Jason La Canfora, the Saints and Patriots are expected to continue exploring a potential trade involving restricted CB Malcolm Butler in the coming days, but it’s hard to say if they’ll be able to figure out trade compensation.
La Canfora admits that if the Patriots end up trading backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo, it’s possible that this could change their asking price for Butler.
Yesterday, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com mentioned that he believes there’s a “pretty decent chance” the Patriots trade Butler between now and next Thursday’s draft.
