The New York Giants have signed linebacker Victor Butler to a Reserve/Future contract.

Butler was originally drafted in the 4th round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. Since then, he has spent time with the Cowboys (2009-12), Saints (2013), Cardinals (2014), and Colts (2014). Butler has played in 65 games with two starts with a total of 91 tackles, 11 sacks, four pass defenses, and four forced fumbles. Butler is a DE/LB ‘tweener who is too small for the line and not ideally athletic enough for linebacker. He can rush the passer. Butler missed the 2013 season with a torn ACL knee injury that he suffered during training camp that year.

Butler is the twelfth players signed to a reserve/future contract by the Giants since the season ended. (Giants Sign 11 Players to Reserve/Future Contracts)
