Jamie Collins Returning To The Patriots

Field Yates, of ESPN, broke the news today that the New England Patriots are working on a deal to bring back Jamie Collins for his third stint with the team. Collins was released by the Lions following week 3 after refusing to report to practice due to his diminished role this season. Collins last played with the Patriots in 2019 and was a top candidate for Defensive Player of the Year for much of that season.

A reunion in the making: the Patriots are working towards a deal with free agent LB Jamie Collins to bring him back for his third stint with the team, per source.

Collins should be able to contribute right away given his familiarity with the system.
