Schefter: Pats Trade Le Kevin Smith
And another Patriot heads off to the AFC West. This time, it’s defensive end Le Kevin Smith. Adam Schefter reports via Twitter:
Denver and New England are dealing. Denver just acquired DE LeKevin Smith from the Patriots. Don’t know terms but know Broncos needed D help
I liked Smith in his few years here. A hard worker who played inside and outside, could hold up blockers but also generate some rush. I wouldn’t be surprised if he became a starter in Denver.
Interestingly, the trade of Smith does open the way for one of the rookies, Myron Pryor or Darryl Richard, to make the 53. Also, no word yet on the compensation, but it will likely be for a mid to late round pick (4th-7th round).
