NFL free agency: Re-signing Trey Flowers would make a lot of sense for the Patriots

Bill Belichick has never shied away from giving former members of the New England Patriots a second chance. Soon, he might have an opportunity to bring another ex-Patriots back into the fold.

As was reported on Thursday, the Detroit Lions have informed veteran defensive end Trey Flowers that they will release him at the start of the new league year. Flowers originally joined the team in 2019, after having spent the first four seasons of his career in New England.

However, his tenure in Detroit was a struggle, in particular towards the end.
