Veteran tight end Alex Smith was traded to the New England Patriots today as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers received an undisclosed 2010 draft pick in exchange for the former Stanford standout, the team said in a press release. Smith is a former third-round draft pick who caught 129 career passes for 1,252 yards and 11 touchdowns during four seasons with the Buccaneers. He became expendable when the Buccaneers traded for Kellen Winslow and retained Jerramy Stevens. Smith registered 21 receptions for 250 yards and three touchdowns last season. His career-best season was his rookie year in 2005 when he caught 41 passes for 367 yards in 10 starts.
