Honestly this looks scumbag as fuck by the Hoody and your team.
Butler is in the final year of his contract. He had an up and down year, but if he had a big Super Bowl game he would have cashed in 100%.
The Pats just signed Gilmore to some big money so they likely can't afford to give Butler that same kind of contract. Likely more if he had a big game, or if he'd get on the open market.
If they sit him the entire game, it only helps their case for trying to pay him less money so they could keep him. It is a "what have you done for me lately" league after all.
The Hoody better come out with a really fucking good reason for sitting Butler, because everything about this screams scumbag right now.
