The New England Patriots brought back veteran defensive end Trey Flowers on a one-year free agent contract earlier this week.

And unsurprisingly, it's a pretty low-cost move.

ESPN's Field Yates reported Wednesday morning the salary details of Flowers' new deal. It includes a $1.285 million salary cap hit, with a total value of $2.5 million if his bonuses and incentives are hit.

The Patriots currently have a little more than $17 million in salary cap space, per OverTheCap.

Flowers played just four games for the Miami Dolphins last season. He was placed on injured reserve in October and didn't play again.

The 29-year-old defensive end began his career with the Patriots in 2015 when he was selected in the fourth round of the draft. He had three very productive seasons from 2016 through 2018, a run that included two Super Bowl titles. He has tallied 165 total tackles, 31.5 sacks, 10 forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 78 career games.
