BOSTON (AP) — The New England Patriots are trading tackle Marcus Cannon, a mainstay on the right side of their offensive line, to the Houston Texans, according to a person familiar with the deal.
The Patriots will send Cannon to Houston in exchange for the swap of fourth, fifth and sixth-round picks in next month's NFL draft. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal can’t be finalized until the start of the new league year on Wednesday.
It will be a homecoming for Cannon, who was born in Odessa, Texas and played at Texas Christian.
