Shaq Mason reflects on trade from Patriots to Buccaneers: ‘I feel like I landed in the perfect position’

Losing Ali Marpet to retirement and Alex Cappa to free agency led to a changing of the guard for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

On the eve of the 2022 league year, it led the organization to Shaq Mason.

The New England Patriots All-Decade member found himself acquired last week in exchange for north of $6 million in cap space and pick No. 170 overall in the NFL draft.

The cruise that Mason was on has returned. The physical that was pending has been passed. And on Thursday, the 29-year-old right guard was introduced at the AdventHealth Training Center.
