Texans Trade Target: Kayshon Boutte | Houston Texans News

Houston’s offense just took a major hit as Jayden Higgins is out for the entire 2026 season with a torn ACL, forcing the Texans to scramble for a replacement. With the free agent market barren, trade targets like New England’s Kayshon Boutte are emerging — a reliable deep threat averaging over 16 yards per catch and over 500 yards in multiple seasons. The Patriots, now stacked at receiver with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, may be willing to move Boutte to jump two rounds in the 2027 draft, making this a win-win for both teams. For Houston, he could be the perfect insurance policy behind Nico Collins — especially if Tank Dell’s injury history makes him too risky.
