New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has been in trade rumors for months, primarily as the team was linked to star wideout A.J. Brown all offseason until the recent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Boutte is still a member of the Patriots, but it was reported Wednesday that the LSU product is seeking a trade out of New England.
ESPN senior NFL national reporter Dan Graziano wrote Thursday that there are two teams that "stand out" as possible fits for Boutte if he's moved.
"The 2023 sixth-round pick has just one year left on his contract at $3.674 million, and the acquisitions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs might just make things too crowded in New England's wide receivers room," Graziano said. "The Patriots have received calls on Boutte and likely will continue to do so. And as always, unless and until we see a contract extension, we're justified in wondering whether the player is in the team's long-term plans. The Raiders and Commanders stand out as two teams that could still use help at wide receiver."
The 24-year-old pass-catcher finished the 2025 regular season second on the Patriots in touchdown receptions (six) and third in receiving yards (551) despite missing three games.
