Green Bay Packer defensive end Mike Butler said Wednesday he may sit out this season and sign next year with a United States Football League team if he cannot reach a contract agreement with the Packers.
“Right now things aren't going to well with Green Bay,” Butler told the Milwaukee Sentinel. “I don't know if I'm in the Packers' plans.”
He played out his option with the club last year and became a free agent. He had talked about jumping to the new league but may wait until next year. The USFL starts play this weekend and Butler has not signed with any team. He said he may sit out this year and sign next year.
“My lawyers talked to Green Bay Tuesday,” he said. “The Packers gave me an offer, but I don't want to comment on it.”
In other USFL news:
The Generals sold an additional 1,500 season tickets Saturday and 500 more today, bringing to 7,800 the number sold since Herschel Walker signed with the team last week, Charlie Theokas, vice president in charge of business, said. He said that the team sold 30,000 season tickets priced at $112.50 and $90.
