Patriots trade Kayshon Boutte to Texans in roster move

Summary

The New England Patriots traded Kayshon Boutte to the Houston Texans on August 24, 2026. This decision followed the Patriots’ acquisition of receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, making Boutte expendable in a now-deep receiving corps. Despite a solid performance during the 2025 season, Boutte sought a clearer path for playing time and requested a trade earlier this spring. In return, the Patriots received safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick.
