The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have acquired a sixth-round pick (No. 179 overall) in the 2023 NFL Draft from the Houston Texans in exchange for guard Shaq Mason and Tampa Bay's 2023 seventh-round selection (No. 230 overall).
Mason was acquired via trade by the Buccaneers from the New England Patriots in 2022 and started all 17 games at right guard for Tampa Bay last season.
In addition, the Buccaneers agreed to terms with guard Aaron Stinnie.
Stinnie (6-3, 312) originally joined the Buccaneers off waivers from the Tennessee Titans on November 11, 2019. He entered the league as a college free agent with the Titans in 2018 and spent part of two seasons in Tennessee (2018-19) before being claimed by Tampa Bay. Stinnie has appeared in 18 career regular season games, including one start, in addition to starting the final three playoff games of Tampa Bay's run to a Super Bowl LV title. The Buccaneers allowed just three sacks over those three contests combined and allowed just six pressures per game in that span. He spent the entirety of the 2022 season on Injured Reserve with a knee injury sustained during training camp.
A native of Charlottesville, Virginia, Stinnie played collegiately at James Madison, where he earned AP first-team All-America honors in his senior season. He wears No. 64 for Tampa Bay.
