Friday afternoon the Cleveland Browns made its first major move this offseason by trading former Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow on Friday for undisclosed draft picks to the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Winslow, the sixth overall pick in the 2004 draft and son of Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow Sr., played in 44 games and recorded 219 receptions for 2,459 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The Browns are starting over with their roster under a new head coach in Eric Mangini and a new general manager in George Kokinis.
Kokinis said in a statement: “The draft picks we have obtained through this deal will give us greater flexibility as we look to infuse more talent and create competition and depth on this football team.” Cleveland has two tight ends left under contract in backups Martin Rucker and Steve Heiden.
