New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is widely rumored to be a roster casualty during the team's pursuit of Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A. J. Brown.
Those rumors gained traction this month when Boutte became one of the few rostered Patriots not to attend the team's optional offseason workouts. Boutte has been absent all offseason, but on Wednesday, he shared an announcement to his Instagram followers explaining his whereabouts. "I’ll be on a panel today talking about sports gambling and what it does to us," Boutte wrote.
"I felt like I had to be a part of it, so I’m here. Let’s get it. " Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, LA, two years ago over allegations of illegal sports betting while he played at LSU.
