Another swing for the fences move by Khan. I like it. A big WR that could possibly make the team.

I loved Butler right out of college. I thought he had the potential to be a beast in the NFL. A great signing in my view.

Interesting. Worth brining to camp. But have to wonder how a 6'5"/220 lb guy who ran a sub 4.5 40 coming out of college hasn't been able to put it together. 3 NFL teams have let him walk. He did lead the XFL in TD catches.

Super longshot, hasn't played in the bigs since 2020. But I did find these bullets in his draft profile - and I love a big slot (that's what he said).




Size and length creates matchup problems
Long strider with impressive build-up speed
Climbs quickly on top of safeties from the slot

he’s currently not on the team.

some are speculating he doesn’t want to risk an injury on a try out and is holding out for a UDFA type deal where he has some money guaranteed

I read that he cannot sign yet because of playing in the XFL...

Dude busted out of the NFL three years ago and is making demands? Not a good sign.

Yes.. the XFL season has to officially be over first.
