Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn and new head coach Matt Patricia famously came to the Motor City after spending years with the New England Patriots organization. Their championship pedigree is likely the main reason they both currently employed in Detroit.
And to no one’s surprise, Quinn and Patricia have welcomed several former Patriots to their roster this offseason. Veteran’s like quarterback Matt Cassel, running back LeGarrette Blount, and defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois just to name a few.
But if this tandem of former Pats had their way, they would have added one more significant name from New England to their roster.
