The skipper had been mulling over whether to extend his current contract by a further year.
Butler is now free to open discussion with other clubs and the 30-year-old, who has become a hugely influential figure at the Banks's, is certain to attract plenty of attention.
"It's his prerogative," said manager Dean Smith. "He wants to look elsewhere and see what other options are available to him.
"If his future does lie away from us we wish him well because he has been a fantastic servant.
"He has been a tremendous captain and leader and a well respected figure both on and off the field.
"It's been a pleasure to work with him."
