Boutte available for trade?

[BUSTAMOVE]

Play Williams instead.

More upside, faster….

He is faster but I am not yet sold on him. His route running was not so good. I hope he has a second year leap

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

I say trade him for a 2031 first which translates to a fifth

So, as a reward for his playing well last year, we should trade him to a team that will pay him to comete for reps as a #3 WR.

So, a player can't play well enough for the patriots to consider him a #2. The player whines. And we trade him, ignoring the fact that he would be valuable at his salary to the 2026 patriots.
===========
Ok, if he doesn't want to play for us, I guess we should trade him to the giants, the titans or the cards. Maybe he can be a bigger wheel on a terrible team.

Is that not what most younger players hoping for a new contract would do? Playing time > team winning.

 

[mgteich]

More playing time on a terrible team does NOT necessarily mean more winning.

Some player would prefer a lower salary for a longer career on better teams.

I get it. If he doesn't want to play for us, we might wait until mid-August and trade him to AZ, NY or TEN. This lessons the need of him as an injury replacement. We could even wait until after Game One and then trade him. Didn't we do that with Bourne?

The Doubs signing was the writing on the wall here. Frankly while I'd love a 3rd a 4th is probably the best we can hope for.

A fourth is optimistic.

 

[Dec54]

A fourth is optimistic.

Depends how much someone wants him I suppose, but I think a fourth is fair.

I personally think he's a very good player, probably pigeoned into a role.
Is he worth what he thinks he is? I personally think he'll be a stud if given the opportunity, but we'll see.
