Windsor seeks trade from Patriots in bid for NFL freedom
Patriots tight end Bob Windsor 33 asks to be traded, even to expansion teams in Tampa or Seattle. He says his future with New England on a young team looks bleak, and a club spokesman says talks with coach Chuck Fairbanks occurred in January with no trade plans set. Windsor, 6-feet-4 and 225 pounds, lost his job to Russ Francis after a serious knee injury in 1974 and had limited action last season.
