Flowers NOT expected to get the Tag? Would you give Houstons money to him?
Trey Flowers DL, New England Patriots
ESPN's Mike Reiss does not expect the Patriots to use the franchise tag on free agent DE Trey Flowers.
Reiss also believes the Pats will pass on franchising LT Trent Brown, leaving K Stephen Gostkowski as the only candidate. Flowers was the Pats' only difference-making pass rusher in 2018, but they probably don't want to pay him the north of $17 million for one season the tag would demand. Flowers should fetch a pretty penny on the open market.
