The New England Patriots traded guard Shaq Mason to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round pick last week. The organization dealt Mason as part of an effort to clear up salary cap space.
Mason opened up about the trade in his introductory press conference with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. The guard gets to reunite with quarterback Tom Brady, as the Buccaneers look to head back to the Super Bowl.
The 28-year-old was drafted by the Patriots in 2015. He was a three-time Super Bowl champion with the organization, and now has the opportunity for a fourth ring. As transcribed by Zack Cox of NESN.com, the trade was sudden for Mason.
