Just months after trading the wide receiver AJ Brown to the New England Patriots<\/a>, the Philadelphia Eagles were suggested to get back on the phone with them to see what it would cost to take a receiver off their hands.<\/p>\n On July 31, it was reported that the Patriots are still shopping their wide receiver Kayshon Boutte. 94WIP\u2019s Eagles insider Eliot Shorr-Parks urges the Eagles to consider snagging him off the block.<\/p>\n via Shorr-Parks on X<\/a>: Eagles should consider trying to trade for him<\/p>\n Philadelphia Eagles Pitched To Capitalize On Patriots\u2019 Trade Dilemma GettySANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA \u2013 FEBRUARY 04: Kayshon Boutte #9 of the New England Patriots addresses the media prior to Super Bowl LX at the Santa Clara Marriott on February 04, 2026 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n With Brown in New England, Drake Maye is clearly going to put a lot of focus on getting the ball in his hands as the clear-cut No. 1 wideout.<\/p>\n However, that hasn\u2019t left Boutte in a bad situation.<\/p>\n Early reports out of Patriots camp suggest that Boutte is off to a strong start.<\/p>\n GettyFOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS \u2013 JANUARY 18: Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots celebrates with Kayshon Boutte #9 after a touchdown pass against the Houston Texans<\/a> during the fourth quarter in the AFC Divisional Playoff game at Gillette Stadium on January 18, 2026 in Foxborough, Massachusetts. (Photo by Winslow Townson\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n \u201cBoutte has been the Patriots\u2019 best player in the early days of training camp,\u201d The Athletic\u2019s Chad Graff wrote<\/a> on July 31.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a small sample size, just four real practices and one walk-through, and a lot can change between now and roster cutdown day at the end of August. But four practices in, Boutte has hauled in four deep passes from quarterback Drake Maye.\u201d<\/p>\n The NFL<\/a> world found out earlier in the summer that Boutte would like to be traded, but that hasn\u2019t turned into a lackluster showing from a player with a lack of motivation to play for his current team. In fact, it\u2019s done the opposite.<\/p>\n GettyFOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS \u2013 JANUARY 18: Kayshon Boutte #9 of the New England Patriots celebrates after a first down during the second quarter in the AFC Divisional Playoff game against the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium on January 18, 2026 in Foxborough, Massachusetts. (Photo by Elsa\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n \u201cI think my main focus was just that I\u2019m here \u2019til I ain\u2019t,\u201d Boutte told reporters, according to NBC Sports Boston<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cMy feet are here today. If I\u2019m somewhere else next week, the week after, that\u2019s kind of what it is. That\u2019s part of the business. I\u2019m taking every day, day by day, not thinking about what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n The Eagles had to get rid of Brown because despite his high level of play, his lack of interest in competing with the team further made it clear that it was time to move on. Boutte and Brown are on different levels, but perhaps the Patriots\u2019 wideout could come at a bargain price and compete for one of the top roles alongside DeVonta Smith.<\/p>\n Kayshon Boutte\u2019s NFL Career GettyFOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS \u2013 OCTOBER 26: Kayshon Boutte #9 of the New England Patriots celebrates after scoring a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns<\/a> during the third quarter in the game at Gillette Stadium on October 26, 2025 in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
