Texans Add Boutte to Fix Offensive Struggles | Houston Texans News

Houston just pulled off a blockbuster trade, acquiring explosive wideout Kayshon Boutte from New England in exchange for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-rounder — a move that could reignite their offense after losing second-year star Jayden Higgins to ACL surgery. Boutte, who averaged over 16 yards per catch last season and torched Houston in the playoffs, brings speed and downfield threat to complement veterans Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones. With QB C.J. Stroud needing more weapons and the team’s offense historically predictable, Boutte’s arrival adds dynamism and depth — especially as Tank Dell and Jaylin Noel rehab. While not a full replacement for Higgins, this trade gives Houston a serious boost as they aim for a Super Bowl run.
