The New England Patriots trade wide receiver Kayshon Boutte to the Houston Texans, according to reports. Details beyond the trade itself are not specified in the available information.

The move places Boutte with Houston as the Texans look for offensive depth. Yahoo Sports reports that the trade helps fill a need created by an injury to Jayden Higgins, suggesting the team is bringing in a young receiver to strengthen the receiving group. Other reported context is limited in the provided excerpts.

Across the two sources, both describe the transaction as an agreement or completed trade involving Boutte, while the specific mechanics—such as draft picks, contract terms, or timing—are not included. The emphasis in the excerpts centers on the Patriots’ decision to part with Boutte and the Texans’ motivation related to receiver availability.
