Could the New England Patriots trade Kayshon Boutte to an NFC team?
NFL analyst Moe Moton of Bleacher Report has urged an NFC team to trade for New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte.
Boutte has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason. He has one year left on his contract and didn't attend voluntary workouts.
Moton believes the Commanders should trade a 2027 5th-round pick to the Patriots for Boutte.
Boutte appeared in 14 games for the Patriots last season. He had 33 receptions for 551 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns.
New England drafted Boutte with the 187th overall pick in the 2023 draft out of LSU. Boutte enters next season with 78 career receptions for 1,159 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns.
The Patriots signed Romeo Doubs and acquired A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason.
According to Dan Graziano of ESPN, the Patriots continue to receive trade calls on Boutte. It will be interesting to see where Boutte is playing next season.
The Patriots open the season with a Super Bowl rematch against the Seahawks in Seattle. Let's see if Boutte is still on the team or gets traded.
For what it's worth, during an interview with Dan Roche of WBZ, Boutte said he wants to remain with the Patriots.
"I want to be in New England for the rest of my career I would say," Boutte said. "I enjoy it out here. Been here three years. Every day I'm here. I call this home. This is my new home. Grew up in Louisiana. Stayed there 20 years, but now, Boston is my life."
According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, New England is hoping to get a third-round pick in exchange for Boutte. At that price, Boutte would be a tremendous value for a receiver-needy team.
