Agreed. Included those contracts just as an interesting (at least to me) sidelight. It's pretty clear that Revis resides in an entirely different universe and his first contract and play basically enabled his hardline negotiating stances throughout his career. 3 years into that first contract of 5 years, it was renegotiated and an entirely new contract was signed, but Revis had the hammer of youth, ability and FU money.Regardless of whether he is consulting with Revis, he is not in a position where he can make the kind of demands that skip the line of paying your dues while the team still has leverage unlike say, a Revis.
I'd be surprised if Butler didn't reach out (again, pure speculation), but he'd have to know that there's only so much of the Revis Experiment he can pull off. And even less so with the Patriots.
Thanks DrewDawg - I thought that was fairly lucid.
