Butler is a former third round pick of the Chargers back in the 2010 NFL Draft. Butler appeared in all 16 games for the Bolts last season starting 9 of them.
He recorded a career low 24 tackles. With the emergence of Denzel Perryman Butler became expendable. We would like to thank Butler for his time with the Chargers and we will wish him the best of luck.
