Patriots' Russell Bodine: Shipping off to Boston
Bodine has been traded from the Bills to the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The return is expected to be a sixth-round pick.
The Bills trading with the Patriots is like the McCoys allowing their pretty daughter to marry one of the Hatfield boys, but Bodine probably wasn't going to make the team. Therefore, the Bills likely got what they could for the only suitor to make an offer with a modicum of value. The Patriots are in search of offensive line reinforcements due to David Andrews having recently suffered a blood clot in his lung.

Bodine has a fractured fibula and is undergoing surgery Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
It looks like Bodine's season is done, while Ryan Groy will likely take over his spot as the team's starting center. Groy has experience at the position and even began the season as the starter, though it's a slight downgrade for the team's running game considering Bodine ended up leapfrogging him and had been playing pretty well.
