The New England Patriots remain at the center of A.J. Brown trade talks with the Philadelphia Eagles.
If that move were to happen, it could be just one domino in some additional wide receiver movement for the Pats.
New England already signed Romeo Doubs this offseason.
If Brown comes to town, too, it could be meaningful news for Kayshon Boutte.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz posted on X on Monday that Boutte is "a name that has come up in trade talks."
"With Romeo Doubs coming in and the eventual AJ Brown trade, teams believe he could be available for the right price," writes Schultz.

While Doubs and Brown would obviously form a great receiver group, it'd be a bit of a disappointing fate for Boutte in new England.
He's still young, turning 24 in May. The former sixth-round pick is coming off a career-high six touchdowns that came as part of 33 catches and 551 yards.
Boutte had a remarkable regular season feat -- of his 33 catches, they all went for either a first down (27) or a touchdown (6).
He's a guy who had 43 catches for 589 yards the year before, too. Drake Maye clearly trusts him.
It's obviously logical for New England to try and upgrade on the perimeter. But there is also something to be said for continuity, and if Boutte is moved, Maye and the Pats' WRs won't have a lot of continuity at all.
It's definitely something that will bear watching.
