Former Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins visits Raiders

Jamie Collins has had a quiet free agency experience since he entered the open market in mid-March, but the former New England Patriots linebacker has recently gotten some action. According to ESPN’s Field Yates, Collins visited the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday.

A second-round draft pick by the Patriots in 2013, Collins quickly developed into one of the NFL’s most versatile playmakers and a starting member of the team’s defense. However, New England traded him to the Cleveland Browns midway through the 2016 season.

He spent two-and-a-half years with the Browns but was released in 2019, paving the way for a return to New England.
