The Patriots, meanwhile, gave up a fifth-round pick to the Bucs in exchange for Casillas and a sixth-round selection, a source told Schefter
The 6-foot-1, 227-pound Casillas is in his sixth NFL season, and his primary contributions come on special teams. He potentially could also add depth to New England's defense, specifically in sub packages.
The Patriots, who were already thin at the position, lost top linebackerJerod Mayo to a season-ending torn patellar tendon Oct. 12. This is their second deal for a linebacker in a week, as they acquired Akeem Ayers from the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 21.
Casillas, who has been with the New Orleans Saints (2009-12) and Buccaneers (2013-14), has played in 55 career regular-season games (15 starts). The 27-year-old has been slowed by a hamstring injury this season, playing in five games.
