Share this: Cornerback Malcolm Butler officially is under contract with the New England Patriots. Butler signed the first-round tender given to him by the Patriots on Tuesday. That means he won’t be signed to a restricted free-agent offer sheet by another team. The Patriots now can discuss Butler in trades. Prior to Butler signing, discussing him in trades was against NFL rules. The New Orleans Saints hosted Butler on a free-agent visit last month. If Butler isn’t traded, he will play in 2017 on a one-year $3.91 million deal unless he and the Patriots agree to a long-term contract.

Vonn shared on Twitter that all of this intense rehabilitation is being done in the hopes of returning to action next month. Judging by her broken arm pull ups, I wouldn’t bet against her reaching her goal. Thumbnail photo via Sergei Belski/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link

Ryan Lochte is banned from swimming through next June and will forfeit $100,000 in bonus money that went with his gold medal at the Olympics, part of the penalty for his drunken encounter at a gas station in Brazil during last month’s games.
