Once the Patriots cut Flowers, it seemed like just a matter of time before the Lions swooped in and signed him. In 16 games with New England in 2017, Flowers 32 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
Though Flowers may not be the greatest LB in the league, it is a position of need for the Lions and the former Patriot could provide immediate help.
