The New England Patriots are reuniting with Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler, his agent told multiple reporters. Butler and the Patriots agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth up to $9 million.
Butler spent 2021 in retirement after spending a signing a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals. They released him earlier this offseason, and New England decided to scoop him up after a tryout earlier this week.
Butler last played for the Patriots from 2014 to 2017. He also spent time with the Tennessee Titans from 2018 to 2020.
