Two-time Super Bowl champion cornerback Malcolm Butler “definitely” plans to attempt a comeback in 2022, the Boston Globe reported Friday.
Butler, who turns 32 next month, sat out the 2021 season for personal reasons. The Arizona Cardinals released him from the reserve/retired list on Thursday, making him a free agent.
Butler played four seasons with the New England Patriots (2014-17) and three with the Tennessee Titans (2018-20) before signing a one-year, $3.25 million deal with the Cardinals in March 2021.
He posted 406 tackles, 17 interceptions and five forced fumbles in 100 career games (84 starts) with the Patriots and Titans. He made the Pro Bowl in 2015 and won two Super Bowls with the Patriots.
The most memorable play of his career was his interception of a Russell Wilson pass at the goal line in the waning minutes of Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, sealing the Patriots’ 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
