He was there. Didn’t participate on the field.

I think Jacas was at the rookie mini camp but not the voluntary OTAs.

Lomu showed up voluntarily without singing

I thought singing was mandatory for rookies, no matter what team

You too… I’m not, but only mentally. Okay & I effed up my knee

naaah

He isn't going to risk injury until a decision is made with regard to contract.

Do you mean like Gonzo has already done?

I was referring to starting this season, but demanding to be traded.

At rookie minicamp. I have seen no mention that he was present for OTAs

I think Boutte has real value. He's not a JAG - he's made himself into a solid player. His ceiling may not be much higher, but I would be pissed if we dump him for chump change.

The problem is (1) playing time and (2) contract extension. He likely wants more of both than the Pats can give him.

I'd trade him if the Pats can get real value in return to meet another need. Otherwise, someone else can overpay him in 2027 and we might get a comp pick.

I think Kayshon Boutte can post Romeo Doubs stats or better if fully healthy.

Can't wait for tomorrow - does anyone know if the website will live stream the allowable part of practice? That would be cool.

 

[JoeSixPat]

I agree completely but a player swap is probably a wet dream on a fan website. Reastically a 5th or 6th rounder.

I agree if there's a draft pick involved that's as good as it gets for a guy on the last year of his contract.

I'm just thinking that Boutte isn't chopped meat either - he's had some OK production and had a 17 yard average last year and there could be a defensive player in a similar situation that might give us some needed depth.

I don't see us having much leverage with Gonzo. He is going to want to be paid like the top CB in the league and deserves to be. As long as its an extension and we can still max out the length of his rookie deal. Just hope he isn't looking to be the top paid defensive player in the league.

I am not sure if we have leverage. However, if the Pats are offering Gonzo a fair contract, he is taking a risk by not signing an extension. He could tear an ACL and never be the same player. I wouldn't even consider paying him top defensive player in the league money.
