What happened: Yahoo NFL recently polled fans on whether the New England Patriots should move wide receiver Kayshon Boutte. The wideout reportedly expressed interest in a trade earlier this month after the team added a star receiver to the top of the depth chart.

Why it matters: Boutte is coming off a productive 2025 campaign where he recorded 589 yards and three touchdowns while serving as a primary deep option. His 13.7 yards per reception was a key component of the offense's vertical success, and his presence on the outside remains vital for spacing even with the recent high profile additions in the receiving room.
