In a surprising trade deal, the Patriots organization sent guard Logan Mankins to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in return for tight end Tim Wright and a fourth-round pick in the 2015 draft. Mankins, a six-time Pro Bowler, was taken by the Patriots in the first round of the 2005 draft and has spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the team.
The Buccaneers absorb Mankins’ contract, worth over $13 million in the next two years. The trade will free up nearly $6 million in cap space for the Patriots in the 2014-15 season. The team also acquires the talents of the 6-foot-4-inch, 220-pound Wright, a skilled catcher who pulled down 54 receptions for the Buccaneers last season. Wright joins a Patriots’ roster that includes other tight ends Michael Hoomanawanui and Rob Gronkowski, who has struggled with injuries over the past two seasons.
