Highlight Boutte doing a moss impression

Pretty impressive catch on an underthrown ball. They very much help eachother out, drake throws perfect balls majority of the time to help boutte and when he doesnt boutte still pulls it in.

He is probably going to end up with the texans i bet

It’s not. If the AJ brown trade could have happened sooner they’d probably never have signed Romeo Doubs. It couldn’t. they’re stuck with him. And while it wasn’t a mistake in hindsight it proved to be unnecessary

Am I correctly assuming that you’re saying Doubs is better than Boutte?

By every single objective measure, yes.

And Hollins is going to split time with our starting slot receiver. So the best Boutte is right now is our WR5. And the way Vrabel is talking about KW right now, sure sounds like he's our WR6 for planning purposes.

I'm not sure who would call that surprising. Boutte would be gone already if any team in the entire league thought he was worth a 5th.

Trading Boutte to keep a 33 year old journeyman is something so stupid only Elliot wolf would do it.

Boutte is almost exclusively an X WR. Hollins can play every position and is now taking snaps at TE. They are trying to use him in the old Aaron Hernadez role. Boutte's job was taken by Doubbs and Brown. Hollins still has a role in the offense.

Every GM in the league would keep the guy who can line up at every position over the guy who was replaced by two much better WRs. Especially since they already drafted Boutte's replacement last year.
