Boutte traded to Texans after Patriots added Brown and Doubs.

Traded from Patriots to Texans in exchange for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick; departure follows Patriots' acquisitions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, which diminished Boutte's role despite his development as a Drake Maye favorite receiver over two seasons (87 catches, 1,327 yards, 10 TDs in 38 games).
