Ten Teams Tried to Claim Former Patriots Tight End Tim Wright

In a surprise move, the Patriots cut one of their tight ends- it turns out ten teams wanted to sign him.

Last week, the New England Patriots released tight end Tim Wright in a surprise roster move. Wright had been acquired from the Buccaneers, along with a 4th round pick that turned into defensive end Trey Flowers, in exchange for all time great guard Logan Mankins.

Wright lasted just one season, but with such a deep roster of tight ends available, it wasn't overly likely that Wright was going to make the final cut.
