Agent: LB Marquis Flowers returning to Patriots on one-year deal

Linebacker Marquis Flowers is re-upping with the Patriots on a one-year deal that could be worth as much as $2.55 million with incentives, according to his agent Sean Stellato.

The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder, who was acquired by New England last August, was a part of a rotation at linebacker throughout the 2017 season, but he also got significant snaps on special teams. The 26-year-old had 3.5 sacks and 23 total tackles for the Patriots in 16 regular-season games last year.
