Buccaneers Deal TE Winslow To Seattle, Signs Clark

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded tight end Kellen Winslow (pictured) to the Seattle Seahawks for a draft pick on Monday night and signed former Colts star Dallas Clark to replace him.

Earlier in the day, Winslow said that first-year coach Greg Schiano was ‘’kind of upset’‘ that Winslow has not been working out with the team during the offseason.

‘’That’s kind of shocking, but that’s what it is,’‘ Winslow said, adding that Schiano told him the coach “would help me out with a trade.”

Winslow has been one of Tampa Bay’s best offensive players since being acquired from Cleveland in a trade three years ago. He had 77 receptions for 884 yards and five touchdowns in 2009, 66 catches for 730 yards and five TDs in 2010 and 75 receptions for 763 yards and two TDs in 2011.

Tampa Bay received a conditional 2013 draft pick in the deal.

Winslow will join a tight end unit that already includes Zach Miller, who Seattle gave a big contract last offseason, and promising young prospect Cameron Morrah, who has struggled with injuries early in his career. The Seahawks lost tight end John Carlson in the offseason after he signed with Minnesota.
