A Kayshon Boutte trade is starting to make more sense for the New England Patriots — even if I'm still not convinced they should actually do it. My issue has always been the return. If New England is only getting something like a sixth-round pick for Boutte, I'd rather keep another proven weapon around Drake Maye. But injuries are starting to hit receiver rooms around the NFL, and that could change Boutte's market. If a receiver-needy contender gets desperate enough and Boutte's value starts climbing toward something like a fourth-round pick? Now the Patriots have a real decision to make. Plus, Drake Maye and AJ Brown continue answering the pressure surrounding New England's offense. Training camp and joint practices aren't regular-season games, but the Patriots can only dominate what's currently in front of them — and Maye and Brown have consistently produced against their own defense and opposing defensive backs. The Kayshon Boutte trade conversation isn't going away. But for the first time, the potential return might make it worth listening. #NewEnglandPatriots #Patriots #KayshonBoutte #DrakeMaye #AJBrown #PatriotsNews #NFL Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
