Guregian: Boutte Requested a Trade Back in April

[Gumby]

I like Boutte, hope -think he wont be traded.

Assuming (50-50) that the Guregian Story IS TRUE, .. there are still a whole bunch of ways of asking that question.

Its July, almost August, and this supposedly took place in April….~90 days ago. Vita Vea put it out there on Insta/MyFace Day0. … so obviously he was diskrete.

- Just maybe this was more like an Agent inquiry than a „Vrabes I want an appt in your office with Wolf“ kinda thing.

When the Deal for Doubs went down; he had to take that AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT Personal. Maybe only for 5 minutes, but he had to be thinking….THAT was MY Deal he STOLE.

So maybe he or his agent threw it out JUST to guage the interest ( both Pats & the 31). Question answered with not the answer we wanted….get back to bidness

I would imagine teams would offer more for Boutte after a few WR injuries this summer. We will see.

I think that Boutte is worth more to the success to the 2026 team and future teams than a 2027 5th, perhaps even more than a 4th.

I suppose that a good camp and pre-season from Doubs and Williams could change that assessment.

The open question may be whether Doubs can replace Hollins in the rotation.

Can't keep everyone. Lots of guys are important. Milton Williams was important to the Eagles but we signed him because if a team drafts well some free agents will leave. It is not if Boutte can help the Pats, everyone agrees Boutte can help, it is who are the Pats going to pay and how much can the Pats pay under the Cap. By signing Doubs the Pats "indicated" they would not be signing Boutte and Douglas. If we draft well we can't sign everyone, even if the player would help.

It's still early. Things will change as the off season and early season progress. Other wide receivers will get hurt, or not pan out as expected. Could happen to other teams, or to us as well. Until then, hang on to our asset until the market dynamics crystallize.

He's not going anywhere as he already has the upper hand on Doubs as of today.
