- Kayshon Boutte traded to Texans
The Patriots are sending WR Kayshon Boutte to the Texans in exchange for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick.

What the analysts are saying
“Boutte has had his name in trade rumors for most of the offseason following the Patriots offseason additions of AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs. Boutte will get a fresh start in a wide open wide receiver room with Houston. He should compete for a role as a field stretcher for the Texans.”
