Earlier this offseason, the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0and\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0worked out a trade. For a fifth-rounder, the Cowboys landed\u00a0backup quarterback Joe Milton III\u00a0and a seventh-round pick.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the two could strike another deal in the near future.<\/p>\n

That’s why Brian Hines of SB Nation’s Pats Pulpit says they could be willing to trade one of their pass catchers. Hines not only had a player in mind, but a team as well, saying\u00a0the Cowboys would be a good spot\u00a0for Kayshon Boutte.<\/p>\n New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte makes a catch for a touchdown in front of Texans CB Derek Stingley Jr. \/ Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images<\/p>\n “Boutte could profile as a low-volume X-receiver in Josh McDaniels\u2019 offense, but the production last year at 23 years old would likely lead to him having the most trade value of the bubble players. One team that would make plenty of sense as a potential partner for Boutte or any receiver: the Dallas Cowboys.”<\/p>\n A sixth-round pick out of LSU in 2023, Boutte had a breakout campaign last year. He recorded 43 receptions for 589 yards with three touchdowns.<\/p>\n MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>Dak Prescott, Cowboys stars check out NASCAR action at Texas Motor Speedway<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite his success, he’s not guaranteed a spot after the Patriots changed their coaching staff and signed Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in free agency. Boutte’s spot was placed in even more jeopardy when New England selected Kyle Williams in Round 3 of the 2025\u00a0NFL draft.<\/p>\n New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte against the Arizona Cardinals. \/ Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images<\/p>\n The question for Dallas would be whether Boutte moves the needle. He was impressive last year, but they already have a collection of decent receivers. What they need is someone who can be a legitimate No. 2 wideout to take the pressure off CeeDee Lamb’s shoulders.<\/p>\n If they believe Boutte can provide that, giving New England a call makes sense. If not, it might be best to sit this one out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Could the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots pull off another trade?
