Meanwhile, the Patriots have a few holes on the roster to address if the team wants to be competitive this fall. So, if the 2023 sixth-round pick isn&#8217;t going to get many targets, it would make sense for both sides to seek a trade.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_dmwplk9r5\">The Patriots signed Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in free agency while also selecting Kyle Williams in the NFL Draft. Plus, they picked up undrafted free agent Efton Chism III.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_82u9f6vt5\">That has created quite the competition at the wide receiver position in Foxborough, and while Boutte was actually sort of a breakout weapon for New England last year, it stands to reason that the Pats may trade him in order to make room for other options.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_po5ygri3j\">Should the Patriots place the LSU product on the trade block, they would surely get some nibbles from teams looking for receiving help.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_twsxnz2t8\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New England Patriots didn&#8217;t have a whole lot to be excited about last season, but they did have a few bright spots, and one of them was wide receiver Kaysho<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28975,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
