Kayshon Boutte's role with the New England Patriots may shrink if A.J. Brown joins from the Philadelphia Eagles. With the recent signing of Romeo Doubs, New England's wide receiver depth could push Boutte into a secondary position. He is entering the final year of his rookie contract, making him a potential trade candidate if the team cannot afford to keep him after the season. Reports earlier suggested Boutte as a trade possibility, though activity around this has stalled since the NFL Draft. The Patriots may need to evaluate their options if they want to retain value for him.
