The new regime heading the Cleveland Browns has made their first major move of the off-season.

According to ESPN.com, the Browns traded former Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow today to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for undisclosed draft picks. Winslow played in 44 games and hauled in 219 receptions for 2,459 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Browns after being chosen in the first round of the 2004 draft. New head coach Eric Mangini and new G.M. George Kokinis are beginning an overhaul of the Browns roster.

"The Cleveland Browns thank Kellen for his contributions to this organization over the past five years," Kokinis said in a statement. "We appreciate his passion for the game and wish him success in Tampa Bay. "The draft picks we have obtained through this deal will give us greater flexibility as we look to infuse more talent and create competition and depth on this football team." Cleveland has two tight ends left under contract in backups Martin Rucker and Steve Heiden.
