fringe Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11078730/kansas-city-chiefs-release-cornerback-brandon-flowers KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Cornerback Brandon Flowers, a six-year starter, was released by theKansas City Chiefs on Friday. Flowers played in his first Pro Bowl last season. Flowers had been absent from the Chiefs' offseason practices this year, indicating he was unhappy playing in Kansas City. The Chiefs shifted him to nickelback last season in obvious passing situations. Marcus Cooper, the third cornerback last season as a rookie, has replaced Flowers in the starting lineup during offseason practice. Flowers had been a solid player for the Chiefs until 2013, when he had perhaps his worst season despite making the Pro Bowl. New general manager John Dorsey favors bigger cornerbacks and the 5-foot-9 Flowers struggled in the Chiefs' new defensive system, which often called for Flowers to cover bigger and more physical receivers. "We appreciate Brandon's contributions to the team over the last six seasons," Dorsey said in a statement. "It's in the best interest of the club and the player to part ways at this time. We wish him nothing but the best as he continues his career." Flowers commented on his release on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Giants don't need corners, but he'd fit well. He will be out of the Giants price range though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Giants don't need corners, but he'd fit well. He will be out of the Giants price range though. I like him, but there is no need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 You can never have enough cornerbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think his asking price will be something that Giant's wont match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 if we had no cap i'd never stop bringing in corners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 We have some cap space after the Baas contract cleared June 1st. I think they could get him if they wanted him. He's far better than Hosely and would provide a huge chunk of depth to the secondary. Getting in ahead of the guys we have would be a challenge, and would likely steer him away anyhow. I'd certainly bring him in for a workout though. At the same time, I'd be very wary. It isn't like Andy Reid doesn't know CBs pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more of a zone CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblue25 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I read that he made the probowl in that system, didn't I? He shouldn't of...he went off of his 2010-2012 credentials where he was good under Romeo Crennel and didn't make the pro bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashTalker92 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Even if we want him. Think we could get him? Dude will ask for pro bowler contract. The dude is well known around the league. I'm sure someone with a shit load of cap space will grab him. But yeah if we could we should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
