Tim Wright Traded

[Divine Providence]

Tim is now a Detroit Lion,

I wonder how many NFL players have been traded away from the same team in consecutive seasons; as Wright has been.

Trading for him now you think they atleast have some plans to use him.

Yes TB is a unique situation being the first team to be able to claim a player. They are claiming every player possible that has any value.

 

[Knight Shift]

Would be sweet to see Tim as a TE, catching a screen pass and Burton blocking out ahead of him.

 

[kapyoche]

How many teams as he been with? Wasn't he with Pats? There is no stability for non-starters.

Detroit Free Press
Lions trade Brindza, get TE Wright from Buccaneers

Yes, he was part of the Rutgers contingent that all got Superbowl rings with the Patriots.

Good job by TB to actually get more assets from trading the same player twice.

 

[StyleKnight]

Ouch he got traded for a kicker.

I know Tim enjoyed the setting down in Tampa. The Bucs are a hot mess, and Love has no use for a pass catching TE. They need max protect packages requiring more traditional blocking TE.

 

[HeyHuey]

He's with George Johnson as well...good RU presence there. If Wright can bulk up some he might get to stay in 1 place for a while
.

 

[198hamilton]

Johnson is now with the Bucs and playing pretty well.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Johnson is with Tampa Bay.

 

[StyleKnight]

Johnson is with Tampa Bay.

Lol. Kevin Snyder is with the Lions.

Lol. Kevin Snyder is with the Lions.

and Burton

Maybe having a Rutgers contingent in Detroit will help with recruiting

How? I have a hard time believing that recruits are being influenced by where the Lions' FB and backup TE went to college.

Why? Why not.

 

[Knight Shift]

And Ron Prince as the Assistant Head Coach and Tight Ends Coach. Rutgers Midwest?

 

[StyleKnight]

Rutgers Midwest!

I've tried to watch preseason games where RU players are involved but keeping track of where everyone is has become a bear. I guess that's a good sign.
