Butler was waived by the Bengals on Friday, per the team's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Butler will be in search of a new team after moving on from what may have been a depth or practice-squad role. He has not yet recorded a catch in the NFL, though he won the Offensive Player of the Year award in the UFL this spring.

Cincinnati signed Butler on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Butler hasn't played a regular-season NFL snap since 2020, but he'll now get a chance to make an impression on the Bengals' coaching staff ahead of the 2024 campaign. However, he'll be a long shot to make the final 53-man roster.

The Steelers waived Butler (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Butler originally reverted to the Steelers' IR after going unclaimed off waivers. The nature of his injury is still unclear, but he will now be free to play again this year once he is back to full health. Since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the pass catcher has suited up for only two regular-season games, both in 2020.

Butler (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Butler heads to Pittsburgh's injured reserve after clearing waivers. The 2019 fourth-round pick will now miss the entire 2023 campaign, barring an injury settlement. Butler hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2020.

Butler (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Steelers on Monday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear at this time what specific injury Butler is dealing with. If he goes unclaimed off waivers, then he'll revert to the Steelers' injured reserve and be in line to miss the entire 2023 season, barring an injury settlement. The last time he suited up for a regular-season game was in 2020 with the Eagles.

The Steelers signed Butler on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Butler is a once-hyped former fourth-round pick of the Cardinals. He turned 27 years old Tuesday and is back in the NFL after a wildly successful run with the XFL's St. Louis BattleHawks this spring. Butler caught 51 balls for 599 yards and a league-best eight touchdowns. At 6-foot-5 and 227 pounds, Butler has size for days. He'll compete for a reserve role with Pittsburgh.

Butler was waived by the Eagles on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Butler failed to make the cut as the team reduced the roster down to 80 players. The Cardinals' fourth-round selection in 2019 will hope to latch on with another team, but Butler's chances of playing in the NFL this season are slim.

Butler signed a reserve/future contract with Philadelphia on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Butler landed a spot with the Eagles after spending the 2020 season developing in his new role as tight end with the practice squad. The 24-year-old saw one target during his two matchups this season in Philadelphia.

Butler was waived by the Eagles on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Butler was strictly a special teams player in the two games he played for Philadelphia. Expect Butler to continue developing in his new tight end position with the Eagles' practice squad should he pass through waivers.

Butler (healthy scratch) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

The Eagles promoted Butler from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest, but he'll need more time to pick up the offense before being trusted in game-time action. Butler is being asked to learn the tight end position in Philadelphia, so the team may consider him more of a developmental project than a player expected to contribute in the near future.
