Trey Flowers’ tenure with the Detroit Lions has come to a close after three seasons.
The former New England Patriots defensive end was informed Thursday that he will be released at the start of the 2022 league year, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.
Flowers had signed a five-year, $90 million contract in March 2019 that included $56 million in guarantees. The move reunited the two-time Super Bowl champion with general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia, who previously served as New England’s director of pro scouting and defensive coordinator, respectively.
