Pats Now Lions

When Mike Patricia left the Pats to become head coach with the Lions, it was inevitable that some former players from Foxborough would end up on the roster.

That has certainly happened after signing John Atkins, Eric Lee and Marquis Flowers once they were released in the final roster cut. They joined Matt Cassel, Ricky Jean Francois and Tavon Wilson who were already with the Lions.

It's a good sign when former players sign with another team. It means the Pats have good depth and competition for every roster spot.
