He's been looking alright. He's gonna get a lot of burn this season in the Pats' RBBC
In a move that bolsters depth and could help special-teams units, the New England Patriots have acquired fourth-year linebacker Marquis Flowers from the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Patriots will send a seventh-round draft pick to the Bengals in the deal, which was announced Tuesday.
A 2014 sixth-round draft choice out of Arizona, Flowers has been mostly a special teams player for the Bengals. He only took two snaps on defense in the final game of last season, but was a core special teams player the entire year.
Flowers was viewed to be on the roster bubble in 2017, and with the Bengals trading him for a late-round pick, it is an indication they felt the same way.
A potential tipping point for the Bengals might have come recently in practice, when the 6-foot-3, 245-pound Flowers was yelled at by coach Marvin Lewis after almost injuring one of the team's quarterbacks.
Bengals trade Flowers to Pats for 7th-rounder

If the preseason is any kind of indicator, opposing teams would rather go at Malcolm Butler instead of dealing with Stephon Gilmore, the Patriots’ other top-line cornerback.
Texans quarterback Tom Savage preferred attacking Butler during the second preseason game. Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford had the same idea during last week’s third preseason game.
If that’s going to be the norm, especially in a contract year for Butler, that’s a perfect world for the former Super Bowl hero. That’s exactly what Butler’s looking for. It’s exactly the type of challenge that will remind his potential suitors how much he’s worth at the end of the season.
Guregian: Targeted early, Malcolm Butler welcomes challenge from opposing QBs
If this in fact becomes the trend with opposing QBs, I hope Malcolm's up for it, given that it's his contract year. I think we're going to see him at his best for us this year. And I say this knowing that his preseason has been less than stellar.
