New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Wednesday his front office isn't engaged in active trade discussions about New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler.
Mike Triplett of ESPN.com passed along comments from Loomis, who stated the Saints "haven't really had any discussion for quite some time" about Butler. He didn't rule out the team circling back to consider the option again, though.
"I don't know that yet," Loomis said. "Look, he's their player. So we'll see how that evolves."
Butler was originally linked to New Orleans as part of a potential blockbuster deal involving former Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks.
