Post-Draft Moves Trickling In
With the draft having come and gone, now it's time for teams to clean out their rosters for mini-camps. That brought on a flurry of moves today. The notable ones.
* Alex Smith, taken in the third round by the Bucs in the 2005 draft, was traded from Tampa to the Patriots. The 6-4, 258-pound tight end became expendable with the trade for Kellen Winslow. He's played in 58 games, started 43 and has caught 129 passes, 11 for touchdowns. Going back to Tampa is an undisclosed selection in the 2010 draft. It could be a conditional pick based on performance. Smith turns 27 this month.
* Selvin Young, who played very well for the Broncos in spot running back duty, was cut by Denver. The first round selection of Knowshon Moreno with the 12th overall pick in th draft gave Denver an full house and then some at the running back position. Young, an undrafted rookie out of Texas in 2007, ran for 1,032 yards on 201 carries in two seasons in Denver (5.1 average).
* The Lions released corner Travis Fisher who, last offseason, signed a three-year $9 million deal.
