I dry brined my pork butt and then things happened and I didn't smoke it when planned. How many days can I keep it in the fridge with the hope of smoking it soon? Should I just freeze it? Can I get away with a week?

I took 8 butts out of the freezer last Tuesday and put in fridge to thaw. Planned to smoke on Saturday but got rained out. Smoking them tomorrow. I'm guessing it took until Friday before they completely thawed out so I'm not worried in the least.
Your nose will tell you if something is going bad when you take them out of the cryo.

Current line-up of cookers: Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Pro, Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050, Blackstone ProSeries 4 Burner 36" griddle, Weber Performer Deluxe and Weber Smokey Joe.
In my experience, good things happen when you put frozen butts straight from the freezer unto the the smoker. Just be sure to apply the rub before freezing. There is no downside to doing this, except it could take as much as an hour longer to get done. Or crank up the heat a little and save that time.
