Kayshon Boutte has totaled 1,140 yards and nine touchdowns over the last two seasons, emerging as the Patriots X receiver with a 17.5 average depth of target. The arrival of Romeo Doubs and a potential trade for A.J. Brown may leave Boutte as an expendable piece in the Patriots’ reshaped receiving corps.

As Boutte enters the final year of his rookie deal, he is a valuable trade asset for teams seeking an inexpensive outside playmaker before he hits free agency. Though Boutte is better than Doubs, earning a Doubs-level contract in 2027 is his best-case scenario.
