PATRIOTS NEWS Mandatory Minicamp 6/9-11

Hollins makes 4.2 million a year. That's what a #3 WR makes.

Boutte probably wants close to Doubs like 2 years 25-30 million.

If the Patriots thought Boutte was a #2, they probably could have had him for less than Doubs.

Right or wrong, the board has to accept that the team has decided Boutte is not a #2, and that's where Boutte wants to be paid.

To be clear I was saying shedding Hollins makes room on the roster/snap count, not the money

Kinda hoping they find a way to pay Boutte. He is saying the right things, and is young with room to grow. Brown only has 2-4 years left playing at a high level. Keep developing Boutte. Money is definitely a factor though.

OK. Here is what I got, last year his top speed on any play was 20.2 MPH which is less than it was in 2024 when it was 21.05 MPH on a 67 yard TD in the first game of the year. Uh oh maybe he is drastically slowing down as this is .85 MPH and 4% less. But strangely in 2023 his fastest time was also 20.2 MPH in any game. His top speed was as fast in 2025 as it was in 2023. It looks like 2024 was an outlier due to the large gain and perhaps being the first game of the year. I would like to have a result of 10 each which would tell us more but that was not easily avaialabe so went with the top speed each year. Can't we just be excited for landing a true number 1 instead of saying his knees are falling apart and he is slowing down? Don't get it, I really don't. I can see Philly fans banging the guy constantly, but I find it strange that Pats fans are doing the same thing.

And I know it's been brought up, but many fans and media for that matter said Moss had "lost his legs" and was a malcontent when we traded for him.
If I recall he worked out alright.
Let's see what happens between the lines.

The only people who think trading Boutte is gonna happen is the media and the fans. I doubt the Pats are even entertaining the idea. Injuries happen and that rooms now a strength. You don't mess with that unless you have to.

Play out the year and then let him see what offers his agent hears in the lead-up to free agency.
