The New England Patriots reportedly have a new trade candidate on their hands as WR Kayshon Boutte has been a name brought up in the latest rumor. Jordan Schultz on X<\/a> said Boutte could be on the trade block<\/a>, especially after signing Romeo Doubs this offseason. The Patriots haven’t explicitly stated that the New England receiver is available, but with the emergence of Brown and Doubs, it’s fair to wonder what the future holds for Boutte. He’s entering the final year of his rookie contract and just came off a breakout season, hauling in 33 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdowns.<\/p>\n

However, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Patriots move on from at least one receiver during the NFL Draft. The team has completely overhauled the receiver unit, releasing Stefon Diggs after one season. One can note Boutte’s frustrations in 2024, when he voiced his concerns about getting the football.<\/p>\n
