Report: Texans trading with Buccaneers for guard Shaq Mason

The Houston Texans are acquiring another former New England Patriots player.

According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, the Texans are working out a trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to obtain guard Shaq Mason.

Mason was a former Patriots 2015 fifth-round pick, and Texans general manager Nick Caserio was New England’s director of player personnel from 2008-20.

With the Buccaneers, Mason started all 17 games as Tampa Bay managed to win the NFC South with an 8-9 record in what was Tom Brady’s swan song.

Prior to joining the Patriots, Mason started in 98 of his 103 games active from 2015-21, winning two Super Bowls at the end of the 2016 and 2018 campaigns.

The terms to acquire Mason are reportedly a Texans sixth-round pick for the guard and also the Buccaneers’ seventh-round selection.
