According to a new report from ESPN, prized free agent Trey Flowers recently went under the knife for minor surgery. League sources told ESPN the operation was “not considered serious,” and described it as “more of a cleanup.”
Even though the procedure was relatively minor, it makes sense that Flowers and his representatives would try to keep any medical news under wraps right now. The 25-year-old defensive end is one of the marquee unrestricted free agents in the NFL this offseason, and figures to command an impressive new deal on the market, whether with the Patriots or another team.
