The Patriots placed a first-round restricted free-agent tender on Malcolm Butler on Tuesday, Ben Volin of the Boston Globe reports. If another organization is interested in Butler, a first-round selection must be coughed up in order to pry him away from the defending champions. (Ben Volin on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Butler has become one of the top CBs in the NFL after just three years in the league. If the Patriots were to lose Butler it would be a big loss to their defense and would be hard to replace. If he returns to the Patriots, he'll serve as the unquestioned number one cornerback.
