New England Patriots wide receiver Kayson Boutte became the subject of trade rumors earlier this offseason, but head coach Mike Vrabel doesn't think that's distracted the veteran wide receiver.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for Kayshon. We went through this last offseason. He had a great offseason, he had a good training camp, and that played out during the season," Vrabel said. "He was a large part of our success."
"His communication through this offseason with Todd [Downing] and myself, he’s a pro. He understands what his job is, and he’s gotten off to a good start. So, I’ve got a lot of respect for him for the way that’s he’s handled these different situations, and the conversations outside of here, and the noise that doesn’t effect his performance on the field.”

The comments from Vrabel come after Boutte may have become expendable with the team's offseason moves. New England inked former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs to a sizable new contract and then traded for star wide receiver AJ Brown with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Those two moves could see Boutte drop in the depth chart and the veteran wide receiver reportedly made a trade request earlier this offseason. The wide receiver hauled in 33 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdown during the 2025 season in which the Patriots made a run to the Super Bowl.
