With less than an hour before the legal tampering period begins, the Patriots have already made a surprise move this morning.<\/p>\n

According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport<\/strong><\/a>, the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> are sending tight end Jonnu Smith to the Falcons in a trade that creates cap space heading into free agency.<\/p>\n

New England will reportedly receive a 7th-round pick in the deal, which essentially allows them to unload his salary.<\/p>\n

Smith hasn’t lived up to the four-year, $50 million deal he signed prior to the 2021 season, which saw him catch just 28 passes for 294 yards and a touchdown in 2021, along with 27 passes for 245 yards and no touchdowns last season.<\/p>\n

Looking at his cap hit, according to Spotrac<\/strong><\/a>, Smith was set to carry a nearly $11 million cap number heading into the 2023 season.\u00a0 According to Patriots Cap expert, Miguel Benzan, the deal frees up almost $4 million in space<\/strong><\/a>, which allows New England to clear some room for whatever moves they have planned in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
