When all else fails, you can always go home. Jamie Collins appears to look to do that.
After being released by the Detroit Lions, it looks like the veteran linebacker will be making his return to the New England Patriots.
If a deal is struck, it would be the third time that Collins is returning to the Patriots.
Collins initially began his career there back in 2013 when he was a second round pick of New England in the 2013 NFL Draft. Following the 2018 season and after spending three seasons with the Cleveland Browns, Collins returned for the 2019 season.
Collins initially followed Matt Patricia over to the Detroit Lions for the 2020 season, but with Dan Campbell there, he didn’t fit into his system and was released after the Lions failed to make a trade for him.
The veteran outside linebacker has always been a tackling machine that can also get to the quarterback. Despite being 1-3, the Patriots have only given up 70 points on defense, which is the sixth best in the NFL.
Adding Collins on defense will only make the Patriots better on the defensive side of things.
