Patriots Trade Bradbury, Boost Cap Space

0:00NFL stories making news on March 6th. The New England Patriots pulled off a surprise trade on Friday night, sending center-guarrett Bradbury to the Chicago Bears. In return, they picked up a 20-27-5th round draft choice. This move fills a key gap for Chicago after their center retired early at just 27 years old. The Bears jumped at the chance to grab a seasoned veteran like Bradbury to anchor their line right away. For the Patriots, it opens the door for Jared Wilson, their draft pick from Georgia, to slide back to center after spending last season at left guard. Now the Patriots face a bigger hole at left guard, but the trade gives them some breathing room financially. They cleared $5.6 million in salary cap space with the deal. That puts New England way over $60 million ahead, heading into free agency, one of the biggest war chests in the league. Bears are buzzing about how the team might spend that cash, with eyes on bolstering the offensive line and beyond as training camp nears. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
