2026 Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Broncos in June of 2026.
Joining Broncos after UFL run
Butler agreed to a contract with the Broncos on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Denver will bring the 30-year-old pass catcher aboard after he recently concluded a stellar run with the UFL's St. Louis Battlehawks. Butler took home UFL Offensive Player of the Year honors for the second time in three seasons after compiling a league-high 641 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 29 receptions over nine games in 2026. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 242 pounds, Butler represents a big red-zone target who could serve in a hybrid role at receiver and tight end if he's able to secure a spot on Denver's 53-man roster coming out of the preseason. Since entering the professional ranks as a 2019 fourth-round pick of the Cardinals, Butler has appeared in just two NFL games, both of which came with the Eagles in 2020.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
One of three wide receivers in the Cardinals' 2019 draft haul, Butler didn't get a chance to show off his wares as a fourth-round pick, suffering a fractured hand in mid-August that kept him on injured reserve all season. One wonders whether the injury was fortuitous due to issues with drops and his standing with the deep reserves during exhibition season. In any case, rookie second-rounder Andy Isabella also was sparsely used while sixth-round selection KeeSean Johnson earned the fourth-most snaps among Arizona wideouts. Following the offseason addition of DeAndre Hopkins, it's difficult to project consistent work for any of Butler, Isabella, Johnson or Trent Sherfield in a corps that also includes Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Back on NFL radar
Butler had a recent workout with the Jaguars, who are looking to bolster their receiving corps, per John Shipley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Butler signed with the Steelers last May after a strong season with the XFL's St. Louis Battlehawks, but he was placed on injured reserve and subsequently waived with an injury designation. The wide receiver returned to the Battlehawks -- now with the UFL -- and proceeded to win UFL Offensive Player of the Year honors. Butler is now trying to break back into the NFL, be it with Jacksonville or another receiver-needy team.
