The Patriots made what is the first of many roster moves over the next couple of days on Wednesday with a trade with the Cardinals.

Offensive tackle Korey Cunningham announced on Instagram he's been traded from the Cardinals to the Patriots. ESPN's Field Yates adds the Patriots are expected to send a sixth-round pick back to Arizona.

Cunningham started seven games last season as a rookie at left tackle after being selected by Arizona in the seventh round.

With the Patriots giving up a sixth-round pick, it likely means he will be on the 53-man roster and that is not good news for tackles Cole Croston and Dan Skipper.

The Patriots have been searching for a swing tackle really all summer and now it appears they found one.
