The New England Patriots planned on turning Jamie Collins into a part time player before he was traded to the Cleveland Browns.

The Patriots ruled him out of possible franchise tag designation and the team feared he would cause issues within the locker room.

Collins grew increasingly frustrated with the team not valuing him and he was clashing with coaches, Rapoport reported. As a result, he was ready to move on and was relieved to be traded.

"I'm not the type to pout about anything," Collins said about the trade Wednesday. "This is my new home. This is my focus. I'm ready."
