The Houston Texans wide receiver reacted to Patriots coach Mike Vrabel's reasoning behind the team's decision to trade him last week. According to Vrabel, Boutte probably would have been inactive in games with the Patriots due to the incredible depth at wide receiver and his lack of special teams contributions.

"I mean, no, they did pay two guys to come in and do that job. Sadly, it is the way it is, being that it's a contract year for me, I seek the bigger role," Boutte said on Wednesday, via KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson. "I feel like what Vrabes said in his media interview, it wasn't nothing bad. I wouldn't say I used that as fuel. At the end of the day, it was an honest opinion. He sat down to speak his truth and pretty much moved forward from it."

Former NFL quarterback and broadcaster Mark Sanchez has filed a motion to plead guilty in the case connected to an altercation in downtown Indianapolis last October in which he was stabbed, according to online court records.
