The Patriots and Texans agreed to an exchange.
The offensive attack Marcus Cannon, who played his entire career in New England, is being negotiated with Houston for an exchange of choices in the draft, according to several reports.
The move came days after the Patriots switched the Raiders’ offensive attack Trent Brown. This move made Cannon expendable.
Texans have sought to reinforce their offensive line. They can hope that a better line can make quarterback Deshaun Watson more willing to play for them.
Cannon, a cancer survivor, chose not to participate in the 2020 season due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.
