Pats stay busy; sent TE Izzo to Texans … No team has been busier this off-season than New England and the Patriots show no sign of slowing down as they completed another trade with Houston today. New England is sending TE Ryan Izzo to Houston in exchange for what is believed to be a 7th round pick in 2022. Izzo became expendable in New England when the Patriots signed free agent TEs Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry.
