The Buccaneers found offensive guard Shaq Mason a new home as the offensive starter is headed to the Texans, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero on Tuesday.
In return for Mason, the Buccaneers will receive a Houston sixth-round pick, while the Texans get a Tampa Bay seventh-round pick, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
One day prior, a report came out regarding Tampa Bay’s interest in trading Mason after just one season with the team. The decision most likely was due to Mason’s salary as the guard is scheduled to make $8.5 million in base salary in 2023, and the Bucs would save $5.3 million with a trade or release.
