I think expected is the wrong word is all.They said that on NFL Network pre-game show. Both are going to want to get paid and the Pats won't be able to afford them.
Anticipated, likely or possibly... would've been a much better choice.
Having said that a lot of people believed Butler would be leaving. Since his SB heroics he's been just mediocre. He also just came out and took blame for his less than impressive play so who knows?
Lewis is 28 coming off knee surgery. It could be the old BB getting rid of a player a year before the wheels start to come off.
It's going to be an interesting off season to say the least.
