Saints Acquire TE Michael Hoomanawanui in Trade With Patriots

Now we know why the Saints freed up $2.6 million in cap space today by restructuring Drew Brees' contract. The details of the trade for Hoomanawanui (Damn, that's gonna be difficult to pronounce and remember!) are not yet known, but based on past trades between the Saints and Patriots, it's probably for future draft picks and may be conditional based on performance.
