Cornerback Brandon Flowers has generated a fair amount of interest around the league since his release from the Chiefs last week and it seems Flowers wants to explore more of what’s out there before settling on his next team.

Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego reports that Flowers’ visit with the Chargers came to an end without the two sides agreeing on a contract for the 2014 season. Per Gehlken, the “overall sense” is that the visit went well, although there’s no word on the likelihood that Flowers winds up in San Diego.

Flowers is expected to take at least one more visit before signing with anyone. The Lions and Steelers are a couple of the other teams that have been linked with a Flowers pursuit, while the Falcons and Vikings were thought to be in the mix before recent reports pegged them as out of the running for the cornerback’s services.

If the Chargers and Flowers do find their way back to one another, San Diego has an open roster spot to fill after parting ways with safety Brandon Taylor on Thursday.

Or maybe you guys just can't pick up sarcasm.

Man I really hope he doesn't sign with the Chargers.

Tom Telesco said he'll cut Weddle if you guy's cut Derrick Thomas

Ummm K

Feliz Schuab esta feliz.

Vai se foder, caralhooooo


:)

He's gonna, just bank it up right now, its a good move for San Diego.

He may know our weaknesses, but we also know his...

Estas equivocado, cabron.

Rsrssssss

?

Is that why we just brought in a 6'3" wideout who runs a 4.4

For the longest time I thought your avatar was a picture of Kenny G. I thought you were being ironic. You know, something so lame it's epic. When I saw the second Thor movie, then it clicked.

I'm surprised Brandon hasn't signed anywhere yet. He must want more money than teams are willing to spend.

Falcons will get him soon.

Or he wants a guaranteed starting role on a decent defense. Only place he has a real shot would probably be SD, Detroit, and Oakland. Everywhere else he goes they will likely ask him to play the slot again.

Would have been nice to have traded him to 49ers for a pick back, they need a CB pretty bad. I could see him going there

No one would have traded for him with his former contract...

He could start in Houston opposite Joseph. He's better than Jackson and he knows Crennel's system. I'd bet he ends up there or SD. Just my opinion.

I would be surprised if he wanted to be anywhere near Pioli.

He doesn't have to sign with anybody until around July 15th, before training camp opens. My money is on Atlanta or San Diego.

hmmmmm.....no takers?

wiki page says he's a charger, 3 year 10 million

If true, it's not a bad price at all. :hmmm:

If its true, its because he is still getting money from KC~

He is not getting any money from KC this year.

Trades with contigincies on restructures happen all the time. 49ers sure wanted to deal on draft day.

they have studied tape as well;)

That's usually when a guy is near the end of his deal. Flowers was in the middle of his. And it also requires the players being willing to restructure, something it sounds like Flowers was unwilling to do.

And based on the lack of visits, it sounds like Flowers isn't getting very many offers to his liking...

Yup, he wants to be a starting outside corner in a league where guys with his stature are being relegated to the slot role.

A late addition to free agency is soon expected to pick a new club.

Ex-Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers looks likely to choose another team “sometime midweek,” according to Jason La Canfora of CBS, who notes that Flowers has “(plenty) of suitors.”

The 28-year-old Flowers started 87 games in six seasons for the Chiefs, who released him on June 13. He visited the Chargers last week. Flowers, who has 17 career interceptions, was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2013.

According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, 10 teams checked in on Flowers after his release from Kansas City, with the Ravens and Falcons among that group. The question now is whether Flowers makes any more in-person visits with interested clubs.

17 interceptions seems staggeringly low for a 6 year starter.

Well, he was our feature corner so I imagine teams threw the other way.

Certainly wasn't the case last year.

He ain't signing with the Chargers, they can't afford him.

Good edit.

I hope Flowers doesn't sign with SD... hoping he goes to an NFC team.

Of course he will go to the Chargers...It's the Chiefs way.
December 28 - Arrowhead Stadium...Chiefs down 2 less then a minute to play facing 4 and 5 at Chargers 45. Smith is forced to scramble do to lack of protection and then floats ball towards Bowe...Bowe doesn't come back to the ball...Flowers breaks up or intercepts the pass sealing the Chargers win.

Chiefs Planet goes full nuclear meltdown...fingers pointed at O-line sucking, Smith for floating a pass, Bowe not coming back for it, Dorsey for giving up picks for Smith, overpaying Bowe, all the O-line problems and of course letting Flowers go, because we would have had two or three more wins with him on the team.

It's is the Chiefs way.

Or anywhere away from the AFC West.

Obviously we can argue about player selections, but the methodology of prioritizing QB and pass rush (while reducing focus/investment on other positions like CB) is sound. Chiefs invested in pass rush with their first pick in 2014 and reduced their investment in CB with their next pick. I liked Flowers- he was the best CB on the team for years but I'm not sure why people are so upset by his release. CB simply isn't worth that kind of investment in today's NFL. If I didn't object so heavily to the Smith trade, I would have a fair measure of optimism about the direction of the team.

Any word on Brandon Flowers?

B-Flow, you are now the enemy. AIDS TREE FIRE DO NOT WANT.

Edit: ANIFREEZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Heh. Doesnt look like teams thought he was that great either.

A one year deal? Sucks for him.

With that said, I'd expect him to have a great year. This is his last shot at getting another 3-4 year deal,

First of all it's not remarkably low... it's a bit low. Flowers has 87 starts. For comparison's sake: Revis (an obviously superior CB) has 21 INT's in 95 starts. Champ Bailey had 21 INT's in his first 96 starts.

Flowers is a really good CB, but he's not in the same league as those guys and they're not that far ahead.

I will say this: Nobody really avoided throwing at flowers. It was futile for about a 4 year stretch, but teams continued to test him.

It's expected. Lots of times a high quality vet coming off of a bad season will sign a one year deal.

They know they can get better at the start of free agency when teams aren't as cap restricted, and he probably feels he can play better than he did last season. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I hope he does well and then gets the **** out of the AFC west. I like Flowers. I don't want to hate him.

Meh lol

Considering the shit we've had to sit through at cornerback the past few years, Flowers looks like Revis by comparison. :evil:

Im kinda torn on this one. He was one of my favorite current chiefs....but now he plays for the home town team so i get to see more him.

I know one thing for sure, the Chargers have a better secondary than the Chiefs now.

:doh!:

Yep, buying that car meant absolutely nothing. Sometimes, it is what it is.

Aside from the obvious Denver signing, this is pretty much worst case scenario for us.

Shit is shit regardless if it smells like Flowers...

Don't worry; Alex will pick him apart!

@LRiddickESPN: A 1-year deal huh? For a 28 yr. old "Pro Bowl" corner by a team that desperately needs all the corners it can get?

Good move by him. Will likely fit that system better than this one and gets to prove himself again. Gets to play us twice and continue to terrorize the Faiders. Since it's San Diego, may he fail miserably.

It is interesting to see that there wasn't much of a market for the guy. Considering how quickly CB's got gobbled up on the free agent market and in the draft, for the guy to get one visit and only a one year contract in a cornerback needy league is interesting.

So I guess the vaunted 2008 draft has left us with only Jamaal Charles...

Why? Flowers proved last year he couldn't play in the Chiefs system. The guy cant stay healthy and is not the player he once was. Id agree if this were the 2010 - 2012 version, but its not. :shrug:

There's been reports that as many as 11 teams were after him. Just because SD was the only team he visited, that doesn't mean they were the only team interested. So no, i wouldn't say there wasn't much market for him. The fact that was signed within a week and a half of his release is also a positive. Most vets that get cut when he did aren't signed until the start of camp.

1 year deals are the norm for vets around this time. We need to see what his contract is worth.

Yep. IF he shows he can stay healthy and still play at a high level, he'll get a multiyear deal after next season. If not, he might be with a new team. He might just have JAG talent left. We'll see...

Chargers have the shortest secondary in the league now. But I think it's a bit improved over last year.

He's not getting a multi year deal at age 29 no matter what he does this year. The one year deal he signed with SD is all you should need to know about Flowers. His days as a top tier CB are over and his knee may be more of an issue than first thought.

Brandon Flowers done
 

He's been a top 10 CB over the past 4 seasons and now we have to play against him twice a year. He's got extra motivation to give his all against us.

The Chargers don't run the same scheme as us and he's auditioning for that last big contract. I wouldn't be surprised to see 2011-ish Flowers this coming season. Probably not quite as good as he was in 2010 but still pretty good.

I hear ya, but if he plays well, I bet he gets something better than another 1 year deal. A 2 year deal is a multi-year deal, is it not? :shrug:

10 teams or so sent out feelers, but it seems doubtful that he got any serious offers based on never setting up another visit.

I am curious to see what he got from the Chargers because last time I heard they only had about 2 mil of cap room. So it must be incentive laden...

You might be right. However, when players develop a habit of getting dinged up, that usually signals something.

For what it's worth...

Sounds like he also met with the Niners on Friday before sticking with the AFC...

You may also be right.

Guess I was wrong about him not signing here. Hope he does well for us. Still, I won't be surprised if he doesn't do well. Seems like we have bad luck signing older veterans. Bob Sanders and Dwight Freeney come to mind.

@RapSheet: CB Brandon Flowers’ 1-year deal with the #Chargers is worth up to $5M, I’m told. Can prove himself in 2014, cash in again at 29

They said he cancel on going to Pittsburgh.

This year Flowers goes to SD, next year Hali will go Denver.

FML

Seems like Reid's history in Philly shows that more often than not he was able to bail on players right before they declined, so hopefully that trend continues...

Wow, I thought this guy would have been a hot commodity in free agency and he lands a 1 year deal with the Chargers?!?!

Shows how much I'm paying attention these days.
