Social media reacts to Texans trade for WR Kayshon Boutte
The Houston Texans need a proven wide receiver after the season-ending injury suffered by second-year receiver Jayden Higgins and have found the option with Kayshon Boutte
The Houston Texans have acquired New England Patriots star wide receiver Kayshon Boutte in a trade for safety Jaylen Reed and a draft pick, as reported by NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Boutte, a 24-year-old LSU product, had a strong season last year as the No. 2 target for quarterback Drake Maye, catching 33 passes for 551 yards and six touchdowns, including a game-winning reception in the divisional playoffs.
This move comes after Houston's recent injury to second-year receiver Jayden Higgins, who suffered a torn ACL in a joint practice. With the trade, the Patriots are also bolstering their offense with star free agents A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. Fans and analysts have been quick to react positively to the Texans' acquisition of Boutte, with many noting his skillset and potential to fill the void left by Higgins.
