Trey Flowers goes to the Lions

[cupofjoe1962]

adam shefter just reported Trey Flowers is signing with the Lions. No money numbers yet, but it is a 5 year deal.

Well that is our 2nd 3rd round comp pick for 2020. The other is from Trent Brown going to the Raiders.

Good for him. Worked his ass off since he was drafted, didn't make any waves, won some rings, and now he's going to make a ton of money.

 

[Mack Herron]

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Nooooo

 

[trueblue81]

Makes sense with Patricia there.

 

[primetime]

Thanks for the memories.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Another 3rd rounder to us.

Over/under on the guarantee- $60m..I'll take the over.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Kinda figured he was gone but was still holding out hope at least we should have a strong compensation next year with him and brown making big bucks

 

[trueblue81]

Does this mean we keep Clayborn? I still think they'll cut him and draft a replacement especially with Bennett joining.

 

[Patstastic]

Would anyone have been okay paying Flowers 16-17 million per season? I am legitimately asking. I do think the team will feel his departure.

 

[Joey007]

AHHHHHH. d%#*!@t.

At least he’s heading to Detroit. Best of luck Trey.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

No surprise. I saw this coming a long time ago. Now, let's go get Houston!

Nope and no. They have a plan, always do.

 

[BadMoFo]

Next man up.

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

I guess re-sign Simon to go with Bennett and there's your attempt at a flowers replacement?

 

[sb1]

Predicted he’d be gone. Good luck to him. Guess the destination makes sense.

Glad we didn't pay him that he's not a consistent game changer: solid hard working player though cheers.

Yeah, I would. The cap is climbing a lot each year and I really love his game. He's hardly ever injured, sets the edge, gets lots of pressure, keeps his mouth shut - true DE and professional.

Still, it's probably best that BB makes the call instead of me doing it...

 

[Patstastic]

Nope and no. They have a plan, always do.

I agree. Flowers was a very good player. But BB has proven that he can get "lesser" players to perform on Defense. Looks like they will need to draft a pass rusher.
