My sense from some of the posts is that Butler may hard line this, sit out 10 games, prove to be a pain in the ass and therefore should be moved. My sense from the JG thread is that the Pats will move him if they have any brains, and that teams, esp Cleveland, should pay through the ass to get him. In both instances, we should get a "haul."
I don't see the market shaping up that way. Already stated my views on why Butler is worth more to the Pats than anyone else, and why it would be irrational for other teams to offer a plus contract to him and a high pick to us. So I hope that is the overwhelming consensus and that Butler is kept.
On JG, if you assume the Pats want to deal him, which could be a huge IF, I just see teams waiting us out. Cleveland is going nowhere in a hurry; dare us to franchise him next year and build a strong team with the draft ammo in the meantime.
And as the draft approaches, I suspect the shiny new things, if anything, will become shinier and more desirable. So no "haul". FWIW, I think the Pats know this and are comfortable with it given the substantial additions they have made via FA and trades.
