LB Marquis Flowers drawing interest around the league as 'legal tampering' begins

Let the NFL's legal tampering period begin.

Per a league source, linebacker Marquis Flowers is “getting interest” from multiple teams as the “legal tampering window” began on Monday afternoon. Flowers, who was acquired by the Patriots in August, provided linebacker depth and special teams value over the course of the 2017 season.



In other free agent news, Mike Giardi of NBC Sports Boston is reporting that running back Dion Lewis is drawing interest from the Colts, while left tackle Nate Solder and cornerback Malcolm Butler are both targets of the Texans. (Per Giardi, the Broncos are also going after Solder.)

In other league news, the Dolphins are set to release defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, the Chiefs released linebacker Tamba Hali and the Raiders parted ways with cornerback Sean Smith.
