Just a few days after re-acquiring tackle Trent Brown via a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, the New England Patriots have made another deal changing the composition along their offensive line: New England will send veteran tackle Marcus Cannon to the Houston Texans for a pick swap in the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds of this year’s draft.
The move will not only net the Patriots some better draft position and free up $6.28 million in salary cap space, it also weakens the depth at a position that has already seen some turnover due to the Brown trade.
