Butler announced his retirement again from the NFL on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Butler hasn't played in an NFL game since 2020 and originally retired in August 2021. However, the West Alabama product returned in 2022 and signed a two-year contract with the Patriots before suffering an injury during training camp and ultimately getting released. The two-time Super Bowl champion and one-time Pro Bowler will end his career with 406 combined tackles and 17 interceptions across 100 career games in seven seasons.

Butler has had difficulty returning value on the five-year, $61.3 million dollar contract that he signed to join the Titans in 2018. He was beaten deep regularly in his first season with the team, though his performance did improve down the stretch. That improvement continued into 2019, as Butler allowed a 98.4 passer rating when targeted and did not permit a reception longer than 37 yards. However, he was forced to injured reserve with a wrist injury after Week 9. Heading into his third season in Tennessee, Butler will look to put together an entire season of strong performances. If he is unable to do so, his time in Tennessee may end prematurely, as he can be cut with only $4 million of dead cap money after the 2020 campaign.
