Patriots trade Mankins to Tampa Bay for...

TIM WRIGHT!

 

 

 

The New England Patriots have traded six-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for tight end Tim Wright and a draft pick, a league source has confirmed to ESPNBoston.com's Field Yates.

Mankins, 32, has spent his entire nine-year career with the Patriots and has been New England's most consistent lineman in front of star quarterback Tom Brady.

A first-round draft selection in 2005, Mankins signed a six-year contract worth $51 million with New England in 2011.

This tells me Gronk may not be back for a while?

 

or they are going to try 2 TE sets again?

 

Tim Wright had some huge games for TB. with Mike Glennon throwing to him?

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

I wonder why. It is not like the Pats line is doing that great. They must really want to get back to that TE-based pass offense.

Mankins cap hit was 10.5 million this year?

When does Hernandez come back?

$6.25 in salary and $4m pro-rated bonus.

 

He signed that big deal a few years ago with a big bonus.

 

 

ETA: Schefter says that it is a 4th rounder in 2015 in addition to Wright

same time the eagles get that elusive super bowl ring

That is not fair at all. Only one of those is even a possibility.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hernandez could still make it back to the NFL.

Hurries to pick up Wright in a dynasty league...

Before or after the Pats get theirs? *****

[IGotWorms 3,315]

Seems like a bad move to me, they've got a couple minor questions on that line (RG mainly), now they have to add another question mark.

 

Will miss his nastiness and veteran leadership too

[patweisers44 697]

Richie Incognito on the horizon for the Pats?

FCFS free agents in the offseason?

I'm amazed Ball-O-Chit didn't call you for advice before making the trade.

[Vikings4ever 496]

Once the preseason starts, sure.

[tanatastic 2,061]

this hurts Hernandez dynasty value.

 

Keep underrating Doug Martin guys, and keep letting him fall in your drafts. Ill happily take him in rnd 2 if I had an early pick in rnd 1.

I think this speaks far more to their desire to go back to the 2 Te passing formation that worked well for them before than gronks health. It is obviously a hedge against an injury of course too. But the twin te set is my guess.

it speaks solely on not wanting to pay a guard 6 million and 10 million on the cap

I'm amazed you haven't eaten a gun yet. What are you waiting for?

That's the main thing but they've been wanting another TE too. They've been bringing in guys off the street left and right but clearly didn't find that diamond in the rough they were hoping for

Wishing death on someone you don't know because you disagree with them on a messageboard? You may want to work on your social skills.

Each team is now a bit worse.

[RLLD 3,455]

They must have seen something in the Bucs practice videos that made them want Wright.

So 2063

Apparently Tommy Pigtails is not happy about the trade.

Apparently jerry Jones is happy with sucking

You may be right. There were some pics released recently that I'm pretty sure involved sucking, and he looked pretty happy.

This is all coming from some dude at Bleacher Report. May be true, but we'll need to hear it from more reliable sources first.

I don't need to hear it from anyone else.

Even though you're an unfunny doosh 99.9% of the time, "Tommy Pigtails" always makes me

[IGotWorms 3,315]

Fair enough. If you want to rely on some guy at Bleacher Report who could just be making sh!t up for website clicks, well more power to you

I'm not relying on him for anything.

There's no way tommy pigtails is happy about this.

I doubt he's stoked, but Mankins did give up eight sacks over the last half of the season and did not play well in the playoffs (remember how Broncos DT Terrance Knighton looked like an absolute world beater in the AFCCG?). Brady likes staying upright

[parrot 789]

Lol. Really, a QB isn't happy that he lost a 6 time Pro Bowl lineman he's played with for almost a decade? Shocking stuff right there.
