Boutte available for trade?

[Wozzy]

You need him this year whether he stays or not afterward.

No you don’t. The passing game was fine, maybe better when Boutte was injured last season.

I think he could be Brandon LaFell, really, could do a lot worse.

That said, LaFell was here on a nothing contract later in his career, not looking for 18 mill/yr for a long term.

And Randy Moss had a contract, he wasn’t looking for a new one.

If Boutte had 2-3 years left on his contract you might get a better pick for him.

He's going to have a career similar to Deion Branch. It would be a mistake give up that kind of production.

After his third season, Branch had 135 catches, and that's with year 3 being cut in half due to injury. (35 catches in 9 gaames).

Boutte has 78 catches after three years.

That’s true, but generally those players have the traits to do so. Boutte isn’t big, tall, fast or super quick… he isn’t going to improve upon those things.

2” taller then Branch…bummer

Players don’t improve…good points all

This may not be true in a couple of weeks, which is the whole point of this thread.

He is still one of the 3 best receivers on the team if you trade for brown.
