Patriots Thoughts from Tuesday: Pair of Pats Traded, Compensatory Picks, and More

After a relatively conservative start to free agency’s legal tampering period, the New England Patriots made a couple of significant trades, as they continue to build their roster for 2022. The Patriots began the day by sending outside linebacker Chase Winovich to the Cleveland Browns for linebacker Mack Wilson. At the conclusion of their transactional day, New England sent guard Shaq Mason to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for a fifth-round draft selection…along with freeing up more than $6 million in salary cap space. Sandwiched between the two trades, the Pats agreed to terms with running back James White, who will return to New England on a two-year deal.
