A redemption story is underway in New England.
After visiting with the Patriots on Monday, Malcolm Butler is officially returning to Foxborough. According to Butler’s agent Derek Simpson, Butler is signing a two-year deal with the Patriots worth up to $9 million.
The move instantly improves the Patriots secondary and brings back one of the greatest stories in NFL history.
Butler, 32, briefly retired from the NFL last year and returns to the place where it all started. The cornerback came to the Patriots in 2014 as an undrafted free agent from Division II West Alabama.
After barely playing in the regular season, Butler made one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history when he intercepted Russell Wilson on the goal line to secure the Patriots’ fourth championship.
