Butler came out of nowhere for Dallas and had one of the best performances of the season in Week 12 against the Washington Commanders. He had 12 tackles, three pass defenses, and one QB sack in the game, helping the Cowboys upset Washington.

He turned 28 the day after the win over the Commanders, which was just the fifth game he played in his career. A former USFL standout, Butler should be given the chance to fight for a spot in 2025 and it's hard to bet against him after seeing all he accomplished this year.
