7 Kayshon Boutte landing spots amid Patriots trade rumors

It seems like it’s a matter of when, not if, the New England Patriots trade wide receiver Kayshon Boutte. Boutte has been the center of trade rumors all offseason long as the Patriots appear to be on the cusp of acquiring wide receiver A. J.

Brown in a blockbuster trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported before the 2026 NFL Draft that Boutte was available, and Breer still believes teams can acquire him for a Day 3 pick. “Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte, I think, could be had for a fifth- or sixth-round draft pick right now, if anyone has an interest in him,” Breer wrote.

Chances are there will be interest in Boutte, who has posted back-to-back 500-yard seasons. The negative is that Boutte is in the final year of his deal, but at a reasonable price, that won’t be too big of a problem. If Boutte is indeed available, here’s some teams that could look to acquire his services.

Granted, Philly has added Makai Lemon , Hollywood Brown and Dontayvion Wicks, but Lemon is unproven, Brown has had injury issues during his career, and Wicks only has one 500-yard season under his belt.
