That's been an obvious move for a while, interesting to wonder why it hasn't happened yet. Maybe Diggs just wants to skip camp at his age? Or maybe the team has a target on another team and they're waiting to see how it plays out. Ironic given we're talking about Diggs, but the Pats have a packed WR room:
Brown, Doubs and Douglas were the three receivers quarterback Drake Maye mentioned Friday when he shared how he balances throwing to Brown often while also spreading the wealth to others. He also included tight end Hunter Henry and running backs Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson in his answer about how the Patriots' attack can put stress on a defense.
But Boutte was arguably the offense's best player through the first three practices, making big plays down the field each day. He has quieted in recent days, in part because he isn't receiving a lot of repetitions.
