Patriots trade Chandler Jones to Cardinals for guard, draft pick

The Patriots made their first major move of the offseason Tuesday, trading popular defensive end Chandler Jones to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for guard Jonathan Cooper and a second round draft pick.

The moves makes sense for both teams as the Patriots desperately needed help on their offensive line and were in a need of a low draft pick because of the Deflategate docking of their 2016 first rounder. The Cardinals have long coveted a top-notch defensive end.
