Guregian: Boutte Requested a Trade Back in April

[Wozzy]

It’s really a moot point because Boutte has made noise in camp while the media is speculating Kyle Williams as the “7th WR” as of today. That’s not what we want to hear. Media isn’t high on Doubs either.

Speculating about non padded practice days ago doesn’t mean anything. Media reported Boutte was on the trade block a month back… are we selectively choosing when to believe the media now?

The only way the Patriots would even consider trading him is if a team right now offered them a 3rd round pick at worst.

Hahaha….

How many 500 yard WR’s needing a new contract have been traded for a 3rd round pick? Good grief….

We don’t need to take the media’s word for it, they’ve been showing it. We are a week in and where is Williams?

You’re not understanding what I said. It would take something drastic like that for the Pats to even consider it. Trading him for a reported 5th round pick would be pointless for a few reasons.

Making plays. Not sure what that even means. The Pats aren’t carrying 9 WR’s into the regular season.

No it wouldn’t be pointless if that’s the best offer, the Pats have no intention of paying him and the young kids look good.

Good to know now; tell Boutte he ain't going anywhere this year.

 

[Ring 6]

He ranked #1 in WR snaps in 2024 and #2 in WR snaps in 2025… he had 500+ yards both seasons.

The delusion that with more opportunities Boutte would somehow develop into AJ Brown is some real homer koolade.

You said 3 years.

Boutte is 24 years old and has played less than 1500 snaps. Saying his production will never get better than his 1st 1500 snaps is dumb.

Before being injured he put up 431 yards in 8 games. That equates to 916 over 17 games.
But no a 23 year old who has half a season production depleted by injury would never get better.

I was off by one. Doesn’t change his inability to reach 600 yards receiving despite leading the team in WR snaps for the last two years.

You have no answer for that… it’s Drake’s fault apparently.

Is he going to get taller, faster or more explosive?

What about last two seasons, don’t tell me about hypothetical scenarios?!
