Kayshon Boutte

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the charges of underage gambling and computer fraud against Kayshon Boutte have been dropped.

Boutte was arrested in January after reportedly placing thousands of bets while underage by using a fake account. Some of those bets were on LSU games while he was playing at the school. Despite the charges being dropped, his future in the league remains unclear. Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo previously said the team will “wait to hear from the league going forward,” in regards to Boutte. He has been practicing with the team this offseason and is looking to rebound from a quiet rookie campaign. Boutte caught two passes for 19 yards and appeared in just five games last year.
