Patriots' Boutte Trade Dilemma: Brown or Keep?

0:00On April 26th, the 2026 NFL Draft wrapped up, and wide receiver Keishan Boot is still hanging with the New England Patriots. They grabbed former Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Dubs in Free Agency, and word is, they're set to snag three-time all pro-AJ. Brown, from the Philadelphia Eagles, in a trade-on or after June 1st. Boots saw his targets drop last season, and now in the final year of his deal, more competition means even fewer chances. Trade buzz picked up when he skipped the start of the team's voluntary off-season workouts, but sources say the 23-year-old was actually in. Foxborough, the week before. Patriots fans are split some dream of a loaded receiver group, but Boots stop proving he's more than a six-round pick. Keeping him could tank his market value heading into Free Agency next year, especially if Brown lands. Reports say New England wanted a day-three draft pick in return, but maybe no one bit during the draft. That June 1st date might link to Boote too.

1:00If the Brown deal flops, they could roll with him and Dubs without gutting the room. Bottom line, Boots' worked hard to shake that underachiever label, and a trio of Brown, Dubs, and him would light up the offense for Pat's fans, everywhere.
