"“You're insinuating something - the insinuation is that Boutte would be moved,” Sports Hub radio host Fred Toucher asked Reiss. “Because of AJ Brown, there would be a redundancy, and Boutte's not coming because he knows he's being moved.”"
"“I think that would be something that wouldn't surprise me,” Reiss said. “I don't know if that's what's going to happen. I don't know if it should happen. He played really well for them last year.”"
"Boutte - who had 33 catches for 551 yards and six touchdowns over 14 games last season with New England - has not been a participant in New England's voluntary offseason workouts in Foxborough, with ESPN's Mike Reiss reporting on Sunday that the 24-year-old wideout is working out on his own away from the team facility."
"If the A.J. Brown trade involving the Patriots and Eagles does go down, the writing appears to be on the wall that New England needs to move another wideout or two this summer - especially after the Patriots already signed Romeo Doubs to a four-year contract in March."
Kayshon Boutte’s future with the New England Patriots appears uncertain after he did not participate in voluntary offseason workouts in Foxborough and instead worked out on his own away from the team facility. The situation has prompted speculation that an expected addition of A.J. Brown could create roster redundancy and lead to Boutte being moved. Boutte recorded 33 catches for 551 yards and six touchdowns over 14 games last season. If a trade bringing A.J. Brown to New England occurs, the Patriots may need to move additional wide receivers during the summer, particularly after signing Romeo Doubs to a four-year contract. The potential return for Boutte remains unclear.
