Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte, once a promising LSU star, faced a decline in production during his junior season, leading to a sixth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft. Despite a rocky start with only two catches as a rookie, Boutte rebounded in 2024 and 2025 with respectable stats, making him a valuable asset. However, with the Patriots looking to upgrade their receiving corps, Boutte may be traded, with interest from teams like the Falcons, Commanders, Raiders, and Giants. His performance in a contract year could influence his future, especially if he helps a new team while potentially contributing to compensatory picks.
