The Detroit Lions have officially released veteran defensive end/linebacker Trey Flowers. The team announced the move in a press release on Wednesday shortly after the onset of the new NFL league year.
The move was widely anticipated, with the Lions telling Flowers last week that they were looking to move on.
Flowers spent three seasons in Detroit after being a centerpiece free agent signing by then-GM Bob Quinn in 2019. In 29 games over the three injury-marred seasons, Flowers racked up 10.5 sacks and 97 total tackles. He was the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee in 2020 and was a valued presence in the locker room under both coaching staffs he played for in Detroit.
