Texans Trade for Boutte | Houston Texans News

The Houston Texans just pulled off a major move, trading for Kayshon Boutte from the Patriots to fill the void left by Jayden Higgins’ torn ACL. In exchange, they shipped out safety Jaylen Reed and a future draft pick. Boutte had a solid rookie season with 33 catches, 500+ yards, and 6 TDs — and with limited opportunities in New England, he’s primed to shine in Houston. Expected to compete for the No. 2 receiver role opposite Nico Collins, Boutte brings speed (4.5 40) and route-running prowess. His college stats were inconsistent, but his NFL ceiling could be huge — or he might need to find a new home if he doesn’t deliver.
