I doubt there are many teams that are willing (or able) to absorb the 7.6M cap hit by trading for him. Although I suppose a trade including a restructure is possible (that would be the only way I could see a team like NE consider it).

Only top 51 count against cap at this point so signing Boyd shouldn't have an impact.

Perceptions vary, I’ve had two Patriots honks tell me how much they’d love Kyle Rudolph playing with Brady,
Same with a couple Raider buddies of mine.

As we get to see Rudolph on a game to game basis moving at a glacial pace, and catching a few redzone TD’s. Many fan bases simply see him catch those TD’s on Sportscenter.

Re-structure probably makes sense, and am super intrigued with what Irv Smith can bring/ expose down the seams.

No way that guy rises with the talent we have. He will not be on the team come Sept.

In 2018, quarterback Kirk Cousins chose the Vikings over the New York Jets. Last March, linebacker Anthony Barr reneged on a commitment to join the Jets to re-sign with Minnesota.

Now, another player has revealed he spurned overtures by the Jets to remain with the Vikings.

After spending last season as a rookie on Minnesota’s practice squad, wide receiver Jeff Badet was courted in January by the Jets. But the Vikings were so intent to keep Badet that a source said they gave him a $75,000 signing bonus in addition to his $495,000 base salary on a futures deal to re-sign.

They really liked him and Hercules...we didn't see much of Hercules but Badet could replace Alderick.
