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.

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...

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

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...

They said he cancel on going to Pittsburgh.

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

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.

I can see it now... Week 7... Smith under throws to Bowe... Pick 6 Brandon Flowers...

KC's first team almost beat the Chargers too. KC must be almost as good as San Diego.

Yea and in that game we had both Hali and Houston go down. Nobody is scared scared of the Chargers.
