Could the Eagles acquire this WR in an A.J. Brown trade?

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to trade A. J. Brown to the New England Patriots in a matter of weeks.

But could the Eagles receive a new pass-catcher in that deal? Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has not been working out with the team during voluntary offseason workouts, according to a report from ESPN’s Mike Reiss . It’s unclear why Boutte, 24, has been working out on his own.

The 2023 sixth-round pick out of LSU who has had back-to-back 500-yard seasons is entering the last year of his rookie contract. Boutte not showing up could mean that he’ll be on his way out of New England. If/when the Pats acquire Brown, they’ll have a true No.

1 target to pair with free agency signing Romeo Doubs. Brown is expected to be traded after June 1 for salary cap reasons. In addition to Doubs and (eventually) Brown, New England also has Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism under contract.
