According to his agent, Malcolm Butler will sign a two-year deal worth up to $9 million with the New England Pats.
After signing with the Arizona Cardinals in the summer of 2021, he was placed on the reserve/retired list. At the time, Joseph said that matters led to the placing of Butler on the list.
After being released from the reserve/retired list by the Cards, he was able to sign with any team and return to New England, where he began his career.
In Super Bowl XLIX, he was the hero as the team defeated the Seattle Seahawks. One of the most famous plays in franchise and NFL history was his pick six at the goal line.
The sideline call by Brian Flores to put Malcolm, go!, into the game is a signature part of New England sports lore.
It was one of several candidates to fill the void created by J.C. Jackson who signed with the Los Angeles Clippers.
The TennesseeTitans signed a five-year, $61.25 million contract with free agent defensive back Malcolm Gladwell. He didn't play a defensive snap in the team's 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII despite the team struggling to slow down quarterback Nick Foles and the high-flying Eagles offense.
The coach never gave a detailed explanation for why he only played on the special teams for the Super Bowl after he battled illness in the days leading up to the game.
After three seasons in Tennessee, where he played in 42 games, he moved on to Arizona.
