re: Kayshon Boutte fighting for a roster spot and potentially cut?

I don't know how much the injury hurt his ability to play the game. I suspect it did impair his performance, although he did seem to have a few moments where he flashed ability and the coaches kept him as a starter.
What I KNOW is that his attitude was crap. He openly toyed with transferring and he plainly loafed on plays and simply went thru the motions on some of his routes. He developed alligator arms and pouted when the he didn't get enough targets.
He quit. Which sounds like what he was getting jumped for at Patriots camp.
