Texans Trade for Boutte, Patriots Get Depth | Dallas News

Houston Texans strike gold in trade for Kayshon Boutte, the explosive wideout who lit up New England’s offense last season with 43 catches, 589 yards, and 3 TDs — including a breakout year as a deep threat en route to the Super Bowl. In exchange, they ship out rookie safety Jaylen Reed (who played just 7 games due to injury) and a 2028 seventh-rounder. Boutte fills the void left by injured star Jayden Higgins and joins a loaded WR corps with Nico Collins and Tank Dell. For the Patriots, it’s a move to clear space in their crowded receiving room — Boutte reportedly wanted out earlier this spring — but they’re left with a modest return: a late-round pick and a depth safety. A smart, need-meets-surplus deal that wins both sides a little something. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
