The New England Patriots traded for wide receiver A.J. Brown on June 1, enhancing their receiving corps ahead of the 2026-27 season. Following this move, an NFL writer suggested the Patriots might trade Kayshon Boutte, a 24-year-old receiver with 1,159 career yards, for a Day 3 draft pick. With A.J. Brown and new addition Romeo Doubs joining the roster, Boutte faces increased competition for targets, making a trade a plausible option to benefit both parties. Analysts believe the team should evaluate Boutte's trade market value soon.
