New England PatriotsTo trade Kayshon Boutte or to not trade Kayshon Boutte, that is the question.
The New England Patriots have a decision to make when it comes to their fourth-year wide receiver this summer. As Boutte enters a contract season, and a log jam ahead of him on the depth chart puts his immediate future into question, the Patriots could potentially deal away the 23-year-old before the start of the season.
Boutte has reportedly been interested in a trade, especially after the Patriots went out and traded two draft picks for A.J. Brown. But Boutte has also told reporters that he'd like to remain in New England.
"I wouldn’t mind being here, I do want to be here," Boutte said at mandatory minicamp, the first practices he attended this spring. "Whether that’s at X, Z, F, whatever I’ve got to do that’s best for me. Whether that’s learning the playbook more or moving around, there’s only one football and there’s five of us, you know?"
A lot of what Boutte does, including be a great perimeter threat in the deep game, could get washed away with the addition of Brown. The Patriots also signed Romeo Doubs in free agency, brought in four undrafted rookies after the draft and are expecting a big jump in production from Kyle Williams. It's hard to envision Boutte really sticking in this room come Week 1.
"At the end of the day, it is going to be what’s best for me whether that’s here or somewhere else," Boutte said. "I hope it’s here, but we’ll see how it goes."
Here are a few proposed trade packages that I've seen for Boutte's services, with a look at what the Patriots could potentially get in return for the budding receiver.
Boutte to Baltimore Ravens For Future Draft Pick
Ravens On SI's Jason La Canfora proposed this deal, sending Boutte to the Ravens for a future fourth round pick, and I think it's the best outcome for both parties. The Patriots don't need to trade away Boutte this season, but he's slated to hit free agency ahead of the 2027 season. They might as well try and pocket whatever they can for his services.
In this case, while they would send him to an AFC team with Super Bowl aspirations, they acquire what could potentially be a top-125 pick in a loaded draft class. Right now, the Patriots are slated to have nine picks in 2027, and six on the final day of the draft. Grabbing another pick could help give the Patriots some more flexibility when it comes to moving up and down the board.
For Baltimore, they grab a rental receiver that could really blossom as a weapon alongside Zay Flowers in the passing game. With Lamar Jackson's talents still sky high, it would be a smart idea for the new coaching regime in Baltimore to try and capitalize on what could be a fast-closing championship window.
Boutte to Las Vegas Raiders For Young Defensive Player
The Patriots, despite what Mike Vrabel has called a good room, could end up with depth issues at edge rusher. Veteran Harold Landry is still working his way back from a lingering knee injury, while rookie Gabe Jacas remains the only second round draft pick to not sign a contract. Could New England try to swing a one-for-one deal for a defensive playmaker?
Matt Holder from Silver And Black Pride proposed the idea that the Las Vegas Raiders could part ways with Malcolm Koonce, who's on his second-straight one-year contract with the team. The Raiders also signed Kwity Paye in free agency and drafted Keyron Crawford in April. Koonce -- who's racked up 14.5 sacks in his career, including eight in 2023 -- could be a nice addition to New England's roster.
The Raiders could use the upgrade at wideout to help rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza this season, while the Patriots continue to rework their defensive front ahead of what is expected to be another season of heavy blitzing. It's a win for both sides.
Boutte to New York Giants For Talented Edge Rusher
The Patriots have a surplus at wide receiver. The New York Giants have a surplus of edge rushers. Why don't both sides make a deal? Alex Barth from 98.5 The Sports Hub mentioned the idea of a trade including Boutte and Giants' edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux to bolster both sides of the deal.
New York has a major need at wide receiver, which was only proven after they went out and signed aging Odell Beckham Jr, Braxton Berrios and Juju Smith Schuster this offseason. Boutte is young and plays a lot older than what his age says, and he could become a go-to target for Jaxson Dart in that offense. The Patriots could get Thibodeaux, a player who's been on a statistical downslide over the past few seasons.
Both of these players are on expiring contracts and are slated to hit the open market next March. If this deal could get hammered out, which could also lead to the Patriots sending away a day three pick for a former first round player, the Patriots could possibily get an extension done if they see fit.

Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
Venezuela Fury and Noah Price subsidising their life by livestreaming
Venezuela Fury and her husband Noah Price look to be making their own way in the world by raking it in from their lucrative social media accounts.
The influencer daughter of Tyson and Paris Fury, 16, has become an internet sensation after tying the knot with her husband Noah, 19, earlier this year.
Since getting married and moving in together the couple have been earning thousands of pounds a month, livestreaming their life as newlyweds in their static caravan in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
And fans can't get enough of their regular life updates on TikTok and Kick, which have proved to be very profitable for the pair.
They look to be supporting themselves after Noah denied that he was given £5million by Venezuela's family as a wedding gift.
Despite his wife's huge family wealth, an estimated combined £160 million, Noah recently told his Kick followers that he 'pays for everything' for the couple.
Making light of the claims about Venezuela's millionaire financial status, Noah said: 'I actually pay for everything unfortunately. You'd expect the millionaire to pay for it wouldn't you.'

Venezuela then asked their fans: 'Do you think I am a millionaire?'
Noah joked: 'She isn't a secret millionaire guys', before she broke into song and sang: 'But I live like a millionaire!'
But it seems according to estimated calculations from their social media work, Noah and Venezuela can more than afford to support themselves.
Noah has been livestreaming on platforms such as Kick and TikTok, where viewers can send paid gifts or donations.
He was previously encouraging viewers to send gifts on his honeymoon during livestreams, suggesting this is one revenue stream.
Both Noah and Venezuela have built substantial followings on Instagram and TikTok. They can potentially earn money through sponsored posts, brand collaborations, affiliate links and creator payouts.
Kick allows its creators to take home 95 per cent of the £4.99 subscription cost that fans pay.
Streamers keep 100 per cent of direct tips and donations, minus minor standard payment processing fees.
It is unclear how many subscribers Noah currently has because this information is hidden, but he does have 7,200 followers which is publicly viewable.
An industry insider has suggested Noah is making around £400 per video on TikTok, while Venezuela is likely to make £2,000 due to her following count of 1.3 million.

In one video on their honeymoon, Noah asked his followers if they'd give them some more gifts now that they were married.
In a TikTok live viewed by 20,000 he said: 'Keep liking our videos people, keep sending gifts.'
After saying thank you to several of his followers he joked they should stick around on the livestream and 'watch Venezuela punch me in the mouth'.
The other half of the honeymooning couple said: 'I am, honestly!'
Noah previously confirmed that the pair don't share their finances after they were asked whether they have a shared bank account.
'She earns her money, I earn mine,' said Noah, as Venezuela joked: 'Yeah, what you gonna do about it.'
Noah went on to debunk the rumour that Tyson gave him £5million when he tied the knot with his daughter as he insisted: 'No Tyson did not give me £5million'.
Meanwhile Venezuela is being eyed up by executives for a fly on the wall TV series.

Boasting 1.3 million TikTok followers, Venezuela is already entertaining fans with her honest musings and candid moments, from cooking to kitting out her and Noah's static caravan home.
And following the success of the Netflix series At Home With The Furys, it is no wonder bosses are wanting to draw on the Fury popularity.
A TV insider said: 'The couple are not A-list celebrities but everyone has become obsessed with their love story.
'People are genuinely intrigued by them. Whether it’s the fact they have married so young, Venezuela’s famous family or their gypsy lifestyle, they have the ‘X factor'.
'Several TV executives think a proper fly-on-the-wall series following their lives as newlyweds in the gypsy community would be fascinating,' they told The Sun.
It is thought Netflix would be likely to produce the series due to their already established relationship with the Furys.
Venezuela's representatives told The Daily Mail: 'We have many offers on the table regarding Venezuela which we are discussing.'
