PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp - Day 12

[DoubleDeluxe]

Malcolm Butler and Jamie Collins became distractions once the season began. Wait until he isn’t getting enough snaps or targets in a contract season. I think he’ll be gone before that.

He may very well be.
I’ve never argued he wouldn’t be traded, my argument has always been I don’t think the trade compensation would be worth trading him, he makes us better in 2026.
Obv if he is traded the front office would feel comfortable in the other WRs on the roster.
At the end of the day their job is what’s best for the team, not what’s best for Boutte.

Something vs nothing… what is better trade compensation?

You can’t rely on the NFL’s compensatory formula for fair value, it seems to be an arbitrary system based on how they feel about the current state of your team.

Trade him now and you could get a sure thing pick for the 2027 draft, instead of waiting another year and hoping the NFL looks favorably upon you in 2028.
