PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp - Day 12

Branch had case. He was only making $1M in 2006 and he was a Super Bowl MVP. That was terribly managed by BB.

Boutte has shown up and played well. However, he did recently make a weird comment.

"It's whatever's best for me," Boutte told reporters, H/T SI. "Like I said, whether it's here or somewhere else, I gotta do what's best for me."

"I can't really say it today, you kinda gotta see how things play out," Boutte said. "So like I say, taking it day by day, I'm not a future teller, so I couldn't tell you."

Patriots' Kayshon Boutte Speaks on Potential Trade Out of New England | NESN

The Patriots youngster didn't have much to say.

I’d be shocked and furious if he’s traded.

I hate to see him go too.

The Doubs contract set Boutte off.

The AJ + Doubs trade/signing was absolutely desperation.
But, they were desperate. The offense needed better depth and production boost from the WR position.
And we all know the Pats CANNOT get it in the draft. They just can't. Any WR we pick in the top 2 rounds WILL BUST.

So, they had to use FA again. BUT, now that we've waited out the ramp-up years of your draftees Pop + Boutte, they should not cut bait. It might take Doubs a year to figure it out in this system, so it's a 0 SUM situation with the $ Doubs is getting, and the last year of Boutte's production. The bet is - next year Doubs + KW will be ready for #2 + #3 role.

One of them was supposed to replace Hollins last season.

This is beyond stupid. Hollins was only signed last year and they got rid of Polk and Bakee before the season began.

One of them was supposed to replace Hollins last season.

Agree. Hollins had no business making the team and only did because it turns out Polk and Baker don’t belong in the NFL.
