Flowers received a sizable contract offer from the Detroit Lions in 2019. The 29-year-old made $54,375,000 there before being released before the 2022 season. He then earned $2,125,000 during his one season with the Dolphins in Miami.

Before agreeing a deal with the Detroit Lions in 2019, Flowers claimed two Super Bowls with the New England Patriots. Flowers was released by the Lions after three seasons marred by injuries, where he recorded 10.5 sacks. He signed with the Dolphins last season.
Flowers has started 64 of 79 regular-season games in the NFL and has 31.5 sacks, 265 total tackles, four fumble recoveries and 10 forced fumbles. He has also participated in and started nine playoff contests, all for the Patriots, compiling 39 tackles and 5.5 sacks.
Why have New England Patriots taken Trey Flowers back?
Trey Flowers' performances suffered greatly after he departed the New England Patriots in 2019, but the Patriots are more interested in his skills than recent fitness issues.
The Patriots are not opposed to bringing back players who have already proven themselves, as the most recent arrivals of Kyle Van Noy and Jamie Collins would show.
Given that Keion White was selected by the team in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the inclusion of Trey Flowers would make the team's edge rushing corps formidable.
