For the New England Patriots, the search for a tight end is never-ending. Thursday, the team worked a trade with the Detroit Lions to add Michael Roberts to their roster in exchange for a conditional 2020 seventh round draft pick. Roberts was a fourth round pick in 2017 with the Lions. Last season Roberts caught just nine passes for 100 yards, but did have three touchdowns.

Kenny Moore not going anywhere

As difficult as it’s been for the Indianapolis Colts to improve their defense in recent years, they definitely aren’t letting their good players go. Thursday the team announced they had reached a four-year, $36 million extension with cornerback Kenny Moore. The deal comes with $16 million in guaranteed money. Moore was entering the final year on his contract as an undrafted free agent out of NCAA Division II Valdosta State. Moore recorded 77 tackles, four for a loss, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble, 11 passes defended and three interceptions last year.

Patriots are coming for the Texans for tampering

The search for a general manager has hit a bump in the road for the Houston Texans. Wednesday, the New England Patriots filed tampering charges against the Texans for trying to hire Nick Caserio, the current Patriots director of college scouting.
