PATRIOTS ADD LINEBACKER TREY FLOWERS
The New England Patriots acquired linebacker Marquis Flowers from the Cincinnati Bengals for conditional seventh-round draft pick.
What does it give the New England Patriots
The Patriots have been hit hard with injuries and also the retirement of Rob Ninkovich, so Flowers will probably help from a depth standpoint. He should mainly be utilized on special teams.
What does it give the Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals obviously felt comfortable with their current linebacker corps and decided to ship out Flowers for a conditional pick. It is a bit curious when considering Vontaze Burfict's pending suspension.
Fantasy impact
There is nothing to see here, as Flowers is not expected to see a lot of snaps outside of special teams.
