New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel explained the trade of wide receiver Kayshon Boutte to the Houston Texans, citing the team’s depth at the position and Boutte’s limited special teams contributions. The Texans acquired Boutte for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick, addressing their need for wideouts after an injury to Jayden Higgins. Boutte had a successful previous season, but the Patriots’ offseason additions made his role uncertain. Now, he joins a Houston receiving corps that includes Nico Collins and Xavier Hutchinson.
