Detroit Lions GM Bob Quinn met with the traveling media throng from the NFL owners meetings in Arizona on Monday. Among the many topics the GM touched upon was prized free agent acquisition Trey Flowers.
The defensive lineman earned major praise from Quinn, who cited his familiarity with the Patriots background and Flowers’ ability to play all over the defensive formation as major reasons why the Lions zeroed in specifically on him in free agency.
“Scheme fit, culture fit,” Quinn stated. “Great player. Great person. Feel he’s going to be a 3-down player for us and really increase the play across the line at multiple positions.”
The Lions inked Flowers to a $90 million contract with $56 million guaranteed. That’s a hefty commitment but one Quinn and the Lions appear to believe is well worth the money.
