Ezra Butler arrested, waived

Tuesday, May 27, 2008 | Niner Cap Hell

The 49ers waived undrafted rookie linebacker Ezra Butler (Nevada) after he was arrested Saturday for DUI and marijuana possession. He was projected to go as high as the third round but went undrafted partially due to his previous suspension for marijuana. Butler was expected to compete for both weakside OLB and strongside ILB spots, but this arrest may lead to a possible one or two game suspension due to strict NFL policy on banned substances if he's picked up by another team.

Let him go, and I just hope the team that wants him can stand the smoke (weed). The team gace him a chance and he let us down. Get lost, we don't need you

Its too bad because Ezra is athletic enough and a pretty damn good pass rusher to play any linebacker position in the 3-4....Oh well he had his shot and being a UFA it cost the 49ers next to nothing....GO NINERs
