Teams Might Not be 'Incentivized' to Trade for Patriots' Kayshon Boutte
The timing means a lot for the Patriots.
The New England Patriots may face challenges in attracting NFL teams to trade for their wide receiver Kayshon Boutte as cuts approach. Despite Boutte's impressive career, he may currently be a poor fit for the Patriots' current roster. Other teams might hesitate to trade for him due to potential cuts they plan to make and the possibility of acquiring him at a lower price.
Alternatively, the Patriots could be forced to trade him for a less favorable package. Adding to the complexity, Boutte might be frustrated with limited playing time and entering a contract year, making a trade even more appealing. As the deadline for cutdown nears, other teams may be inclined to wait and see which receivers can be obtained through the waiver wire instead.
The Patriots' intentions regarding Boutte's future are unclear, as they have played him in a preseason game with backups in recent weeks.
