Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports that the Patriots and Bucs have agreed to a trade that will send OG Logan Mankins to Tampa in exchange for TE Tim Wright and a draft pick. Mankins is a 6-time Pro Bowler, including each of the past 5 years, and finished 18th in Pro Football Focus' 2013 rankings. He's a huge upgrade for the Bucs. His arrival is especially good news for RB Doug Martin. But Wright looks like the biggest winner here. He turned in a promising rookie season, totaling 571 yards and 5 TDs on 54 grabs. He had fallen to 3rd on Tampa's depth chart, though, and wasn't looking like a fantasy option. Now he joins a Patriots team that loves to get the TEs involved in the passing game. Wright could play a significant Week 1 role if TE Rob Gronkowski isn't ready. Even when Gronk plays, Wright could emerge as a poor man's Aaron Hernandez. Consider him an intriguing late-round flier in your fantasy draft.
Update: The draft pick the Patriots are getting is a 4th-rounder in 2015.
