  "account": "The Houston Texans have acquired wide receiver Kayshon Boutte from the New England Patriots, according to multiple reports. The trade reportedly involved safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round draft pick from the Patriots to the Texans. This move comes after the Patriots' star receiver Jayden Higgins suffered an ACL tear during a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday. Boutte, a sixth-round draft pick in 2023, had 33 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdowns last season. The Patriots had struggled at the wide receiver position following their trade for A.J. Brown in June and the signing of Romeo Doubs to a lucrative contract. In an effort to replace Higgins, who was expected to start alongside Nico Collins, the Texans signed additional veteran receivers Zay Jones and Sterling Shepard over the weekend.",
