The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have brought in Rob Gronkowski at tight end and now have a surplus at the position. That has apparently led OJ Howard to want a trade.
JoeBucsFan.com reported on Thursday that Howard “wants out” of Tampa Bay.
Howard was a first-round pick by the Bucs in 2017 and had some success in his first two seasons, but he had less of a role in Bruce Arians’ offense last year. Now that Gronk is in Tampa Bay in addition to Cameron Brate, Howard seems like the odd man out.
There have been rumors since last week about the Bucs trading Howard. The Patriots, who traded away Gronk, are said to have interest in Howard and would be a great fit for him.
