The Patriots’ focus this week might revolve around the 2025 NFL Draft.
But Eliot Wolf and the rest of New England’s top brass are reportedly also leaving no stone unturned when it comes to reshuffling a rebuilding roster.
Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz noted on Wednesday that the Patriots are open to trading players from the previous coaching staff, with wide receiver Kayshon Boutte tabbed as “one name to watch” moving forward.
Schultz’s report is far from an outlier.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter penned a story on Monday that mapped out a list of players “on rookie contracts who could be deemed expendable” — with Boutte making the list as a potential trade chip for New England.
