From the article:

“I try not to buy into it. At the end of the day I can control what I can control,” Boutte said. “As long as I’m doing what I’m supposed to do off the field, everything else will play out.”

It seems like his head is in the right place. He had a great opportunity to talk about wanting out, and he didn't take it. He had the opportunity to do a hold-out or a hold-in, he isn't taking it. He realizes he doesn't have a lot of leverage and he's going to have to wait to see how things play out.

Yet, I'm sure the sports talk idiots will find a way to spin it...

Hopefully Gonzo shows up too.

If he does, hopefully that means an extension is coming.

If he does, hopefully that means an extension is coming.

Or that he will play until its clear that no deal is possible.

Hopefully Jacas shows up too.

Did he sign yet?

Overthecap and Sportrac have nothing.

From new trades to player injuries, here’s what to think about before the Patriots start minicamp - The Boston Globe

When the Patriots traded for A.J. Brown, they had a corresponding roster move, placing tight end Julian Hill on injured reserve. That is a much bigger lost for the team than one might think by just looking at statistics.
