The Pats announced the trading of OL Russ Hochstein to the Denver Broncos for draft considerations. Coach Bill Belichick has been quite candid about being open to dealing with Coach Josh MacDaniels.
The trade works great for both sides. Hochstein was being squeezed for a roster spot and was primarily a backup. He also played fullback on goal line formations. By trading Hochstein, they are able to pick up another draft pick . Hochstein may have been a casualty on the roster, but now they have some value in return. Denver gets a proven player as Coach MacDaniels was very familiar with him.
Hochstein joined the Pats as a practice squad player in 2003. He was able to make the active roster the following year. He was an important backup lineman in his eight year tenure, appearing in 91 games. He was also the backup long snapper.
