Raiders

Raiders DE Adam Butler hit free agency this offseason and wasn’t at the top of most teams’ wish lists. Las Vegas DL coach Rob Leonard described what it means to have Butler back in the building. 

“Everything,” Leonard said, via Levi Damien of the Raiders Wire. “Everything. In terms of creating a standard, him and 98 [Maxx Crosby]. This is one of the groups that makes this special is building a team. Not just a group of talent. So, their traits, their personalities all play off each other. They balance each other really well which creates infectious energy and is a lot of fun.”
