The Patriots' linebackers room will look quite a bit different next year.
After Kyle Van Noy reportedly agreed to sign with the Dolphins and Brian Flores, Jamie Collins reportedly agreed to join another former Patriots coach.
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Collins has agreed to a deal with Matt Patricia's Lions. The deal is for three years and $30 million.
Collins did a good job last year in his return to the Patriots to get him this contract.
In his second stint with the Patriots, Collins finished the year with 58 tackles and seven sacks, although it is worth noting he had just one sack after Week 8. He played last year on a one-year deal worth just over $1 million.
Some in the league may have been wary of Collins and how things went in Cleveland, but Patricia knows him well from his time with the Patriots so it seems like a good match.
