ESPN: Patriots Trade Kayshon Boutte to Texans for Jaylen Reed, 2028 Pick
Houston adds a receiver who posted 46 catches and 551 yards last season after Boutte requested a trade earlier this offseason.
- On Monday, the New England Patriots traded wide receiver Kayshon Boutte to the Houston Texans for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round draft pick, ending months of speculation about the receiver's future.
- Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel's offseason additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs pushed Boutte toward a backup role, prompting the receiver to request a trade earlier this offseason.
- Houston pursued the 24-year-old Boutte to bolster its receiving corps following Jayden Higgins' season-ending ACL tear, acquiring a receiver who averaged 16.7 yards per catch last season.
- New England acquired the 23-year-old Reed to address secondary depth concerns, with the safety recording 14 total tackles and a fumble recovery across 73 defensive snaps for Houston last season.
- With the 53-man roster cutdown deadline arriving Sunday, the deal provides both teams necessary depth adjustments as the Patriots prioritize defensive reinforcements and the Texans secure a proven offensive weapon.
