Patriots face challenges trading Kayshon Boutte before roster cuts
Summary

As the NFL roster cut deadline approaches, the New England Patriots are evaluating Kayshon Boutte's future with the team. Despite showing promise, Boutte might not have a clear role going forward, which complicates potential trade discussions. Other teams may hesitate to trade for him, preferring to pick up players from the waiver wire. Consequently, the Patriots may either retain Boutte in a limited capacity or trade him for a less favorable return, depending on how roster decisions unfold in the upcoming days.
