FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- In a reunion with their former draft pick, the New England Patriots have signed defensive end Trey Flowers, it was announced Tuesday.
Flowers, a two-time Super Bowl champion in New England who was selected by the team in the fourth round of the 2015 draft, spent his first four seasons with the Patriots before signing a five-year, $90 million deal with the Detroit Lions in 2019.
He appeared in four games with the Miami Dolphins last season, landing on injured reserve due to his foot.
The 6-foot-2, 265-pound Flowers isn't projected as a lock to make the roster, but he provides veteran depth behind Deatrich Wise Jr.
