Bucs get TE Jolley from Jets; Jets get TE Ryan from Cowboys
August 31st, 2006
In a little game of swap the tight ends – ouch, that might be the worst porn title ever – the NY Jets acquired TE Sean Ryan from the Dallas Cowboys and sent TE Doug Jolley to the Bucs. The trades involved draft picks – reportedly a 6th round pick in the deal with the Bucs.
As a Bucs fan, I’m not too angry about this trade because we didn’t give up much – assuming the #6 rumor is true. The only thing that will bug me is if this takes playing time away from Alex Smith. The 2nd year guy from Stanford, picked in the third round last year, has the ability to have a breakout season this year. I don’t want to take away from that just cause Jon Gruden loves to employ 3 or more tight ends.
