Cleveland Browns Send Kellen Winslow to Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Cleveland Browns have sent tight end Kellen Winslow to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for undisclosed draft picks on Friday, ending a five-year stay that was often filled with injuries and controversy.

After being selected with the sixth overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft the former University of Miami standout suffered a broken right fibula two games into his rookie campaign. Winslow, 25, was expected to make a complete recovery from the injury and be ready for the 2005 season but that changed when he sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee after performing stunts on his motorcycle. He sat out that entire season.

Winslow’s first full season came in 2006 and he collected 89 receptions and in 2007 he made his first appearance at the Pro Bowl after a season in which he hauled in 82 catches for 1,106 yards and five touchdowns.

In 2008 Winslow was hospitalized with a staph infection related to surgery on his right knee and after complaining about his treatment the club suspended him for a week.

Cleveland made it known that they would be heading in a different direction during last year’s NFL Draft when they selected Martin Rucker and on Friday those plans were revealed as they dealt Winslow to the Bucs for undisclosed draft picks.
