Chiefs open to trading Flowers

[The Franchise]

Dan Pompei of Bleacher Report reports the Chiefs "are believed to be willing to deal" CB Brandon Flowers.

Flowers struggled mightily in DC Bob Sutton's press-man scheme last season, grading out as a bottom-15 cover corner at Pro Football Focus. He allowed a 66.7 percent completion rate, 846 yards, and four touchdowns in his coverage, while QBs had a 103.9 rating throwing at him. Flowers has three years left on a six-year, $49.35 million deal and may be difficult to move. At 5-foot-9 and 187 pounds, he's best suited to fill the slot role. He somehow made the Pro Bowl last season.

If Kyle Fuller is there, Chiefs take him with first pick. No way Dorsey watched that Indy game and stands pat with our shitty secondary.

FTD Florist! Don't be afraid to send them Flowers.

He's been a good Chief but he's at the point that trading him is an option if he won't take a pay cut.

[BossChief]

When Flowers is healthy, the guy is a top ten corner in the nfl.

The problem last year was he wasn't healthy all year and our safeties were terrible.

Dunta and Kendrick are gone.

Flowers was a stud in that game until the concussion.

[Ragged Robin]

His and Bowe's contracts are a complete trainwreck. Both are below average starters at this point and are probably on the downside..

If they can move him, they should.
He's not a good fit for this defense.

I think he's a fine fit when healthy.

This.

It's more about his contract and staying healthy.

I'd love to replace him with Verrett in the 2nd.


I'm just not sure that's possible or the correct decision (given the compensation to move up).

I loved how physical he got with welker . Used the 5 yards perfectly by stopping contact in time to avoid penalty.

Another one bites the dust. The 2008 draft class will go for absolutely nothing.

All those moments, lost in time...like tears...in the rain.

Flowers has been nagged by injuries since he entered the league.
He's just not a press corner. He's better suited for zone coverage.
That's not an indictment of the guy. He can still play, he's just not playing in a scheme that maximizes his strengths.
We were playing Tampa 2 when he was drafted, no?

I agree. You don't pay a corner top dollar when his only value on the field is playing the slot, even then he was burnt toast all season and his contract is absolutely absurd. If they could get a 4th or 5th for him they should do it without hesitation.
