The Facts: On Thursday, the Bucs shored up the tight end position, trading an undisclosed draft pick to the Jets for Jolley. The move comes 20 months after the Jets shipped a first-round pick to the Oakland Raiders as part of a deal to acquire the productive tight end.
Diehards Line:New York traded for Jolley after losing starter Anthony Becht to Tampa Bay as a free agent in 2005. Those two, along with 2005 rookie standout Alex Smith, give the Bucs a deep and flexible tight end corps, which will be important if the offense continues to use two-TE sets as frequently and effectively as it did last season. The Jets, meanwhile, have apparently settled on Chris Baker as their undisputed No. 1.
