The Houston Texans need a proven wide receiver after the season-ending injury suffered by second-year receiver Jayden Higgins.
Right now, there seems to be a clear option on the table and certainly a player looking for a bigger role.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, teams have reached out about acquiring veteran receiver Kayshon Boutte in exchange for a draft pick. Since the Texans now seem to be in the market, Rapoport believes that could be the dream destination.
Boutte, 24, had a promising season last year as the No. 2 target for Drake Maye en route to the Super Bowl. The LSU product caught 33 passes for 551 yards and a career-high 6 touchdowns, including a game-sealing touchdown reception in the divisional round playoff win over the Texans.
But the Patriots added A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs in free agency and trades this offseason and gave each top money, so they're expected to be the new top two weapons opposite tight end Hunter Henry. This likely reduces Boutte's exposure in the offense and makes him a name worth dicussing via the trade markets.
