Butler signed a one-year deal with the Bucs on Tuesday, Yahoo! Sports' Rand Getlin reports. | ||||||

Bills waived CB Crezdon Butler | ||||||
Butler had been penciled in opposite Leodis McKelvin while Stephon Gilmore recovers from wrist surgery, but WGR 550 Buffalo reported Wednesday that his roster spot still wasn't sewn up. It now appears one of Justin Rogers and T.J. Heath will get the nod. A 2010 fifth-round pick of the Steelers, Butler has never made a start, and played just 19 snaps between the Bills and Redskins last season. | ||||||

WGR 550 Buffalo believes CB Crezdon Butler is still competing for a roster spot. | ||||||
Butler is currently expected to replace Stephon Gilmore (wrist surgery) at right cornerback for the first six weeks, but hasn't yet won the job. It would take a disastrous fourth preseason game for him to get released over T.J. Heath. UDFA Nickell Robey and Ron Brooks are battling for nickel duties. | ||||||
