This is not good.
Hamilton Tiger-Cats safety Craig Butler might not step on the field in 2016 due to a significant injury, according to CFL sources.
Butler is dealing with a knee issue that’s put him in danger of missing the entire 2016 campaign. The 27-year-old was due a sizeable bonus in early March but re-negotiated his contract. Although he did not receive that off-season payment, Butler will be paid while he recovers. The re-worked deal displays the Ticats’ commitment to Butler by keeping him on through the uncertainty#of the setback when they could’ve cut him and walked away.
