Patriots advised not to trade Kayshon Boutte amid WR depth concerns

The New England Patriots are considering their options for their wide receiver group after acquiring AJ Brown. ESPN’s Seth Walder suggested a trade that would send WR Kayshon Boutte to the Washington Commanders for a fifth-round pick. However, this move is viewed as unwise due to Boutte's potential and the injury history of key receivers in New England's lineup. Washington has recently signed free-agent WR Stefon Diggs, complicating the proposed trade. The Patriots are likely better off retaining Boutte for depth as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
