CBS Sports: Hopkins Courting Butler For Texans
 

Since Barrett wonders where I get this stuff, here's the story which comes with tweets:

"Texans' DeAndre Hopkins is recruiting Patriots' Malcolm Butler via social media"

Nice to see Hopkins taking a leadership role and, as a top receiver, he would surely know which guys around the league can cover his ass so he's trying to lure Patriots CB Malcolm Butler, a surprise benching during the Super Bowl, to Houston during free agency.

I guess they are still hurting about not re-signing Bouye when they had the chance. So if Butler come here, which one of JJo, Kareem or KJohnson is on the way out?

Anybody would be an upgrade at this point.

While I'm sure the pass rush (or lack of) had a lot to do with it, all of these guys regressed.

The only one I had expectations for was Kevin Johnson. He let me down. I really hope he works hard this offseason because other wise he will go down as another failed draft pick. (which is hard to type).

The Texans could certainly use him (Butler).

Will be interesting to see how the new "Gaine regime" handles the upcoming FA market.....
