Dez Bryant totally owned Flowers and they won that game in spite of him not because of him.

Through the years Brandon has been torched by all the bigger/Taller WR's he's faced on the outside. And if you haven't noticed, the league is full of them right now. It'll be okay.

I think he was gonna be the slot CB this year anyways and they signed Chris Owens who is younger and much faster.

People are acting like Flowers is a difference maker and a shut down corner in this league. He is far from being that at this point in his career and he was never that shut down corner to begin with. The FO did the smart thing in saving money by cutting Flowers before he could become even worse than what he was last year. It's a simple matter of his cap hit, $10+ mil vastly outweighing his production on the field.

I'm surprised to find out there are CPers who expected Flowers to be an impact player this year. He wasn't last year. When you lose your job to Marcus Cooper, your time is over.

At least we know we'd get a few picks against Peyton every game.

I remember the Tampa WR's 2 years ago just abusing our corners

You guys realize that Flowers had only 7 passes defended last season with 1 INT but had 68 total tackles with 63 of them being solo. What does that mean? He allowed a crap ton of receptions. Brandon Flowers gave up sixty-four receptions in the 2013 regular season on ninety-six targets, a 66.7 completion percentage. And CP has its panties up in bunches because we released him to free up $7.5 mil on the cap. Phenomenal. :facepalm:

Someone please justify this.

Trades are going to be a thing of the past in the NFL. (just like RB's in the 1st rd) The only players teams wanna move are ones that are older, expensive or troubled. For 2/3 of that scenario teams will just wait for the inevitable release.

It takes two to tango.

Opposing QBs averaged a 103 passer rating against Flowers. Flowers gave up, by himself, 846 receiving yards and 4 TDs last season on those 64 receptions. You seriously think that's worth a $10+ mil cap hit in 2014?

It's not about the comp. It's his contract.

And Dorsey addressed that.

How did he fix the safety position?
