A 7th round pick& a safety which wasn't a position of need.This don't benefit the pats at all. Only blight side now Chism is a lock to make the team
Thanks, edited thread title.The Patriots are sending WR Kayshon Boutte to the Texans in exchange for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick.
Boo
I really do not understand this trade They could could have gotten so much more for him even from the Texans who were damn near desperate for a good Wide Receiver.A 7th round pick& a safety which wasn't a position of need.This don't benefit the pats at all.

He is a 2nd year nobody who played in only 7 games had 9 solo tackles and a fumble recovery last season.So is Reed any good? I hate to see Boutte go but it’s probably the best for him, he’ll get a lot more throws and a bigger part of their offense.
Not getting playing time on the 2025 Texans defense isn't necessarily a huge indictment.He is a 2nd year nobody who played in only 7 games had 9 solo tackles and a fumble recovery last season.
Googling around on him, he's really a STs guy. As a S, he appears to be better toward the LOS and weaker in coverage. Not exactly a glowing scouting report for a S but perhaps someone in the Pats FO might have always had an eye on him for one reason or another.So is Reed any good?

Looks like he played more than 80% of their snaps at safety in the playoffs...became the clear safety 3 as a rookie.Not getting playing time on the 2025 Texans defense isn't necessarily a huge indictment.
Snap count is meaningless if the player does nothing.Looks like he played more than 80% of their snaps at safety in the playoffs...became the clear safety 3 as a rookie.
I'm not seeing the benefit for the Pats here. Texans were clearly desperate for a WR and got a good Deep threat. What did we get in return? A 7th round pick and a safety with 14 tackles in 7 games tell me while fans shouldn't be anger about this trade
I tend to agree.We got fleeced according to CBS sports.![]()
Kayshon Boutte trade grades: Texans fleece Patriots while filling key roster need
The Patriots and Texans agreed to a trade, highlighted by WR Kayshon Boutte moving to Houston.www.cbssports.com
Thanks for this, it softens the blow a little. I'd still argue that the Texans needed Boutte far more than the Pats need Reed and, if nothing else, they should have received a higher draft pick in this deal.Heard that Woodson's injury status is a potential issue.
Didn't play in second Philly-Pats practice.
Wasn't on the field for preseason game.

I wanted to keep all 7. This makes me wonder if there is something more going on with the Db's than we know. Davis has been slow coming back. Woodson left practice with an injury... Gonzales has a hang-nail.
I really like Boutte and know little about the new guy. Seems at first glance Caserio got the better of this one but Wolff knows more than I ever will.
See what happens.
