Smith signed a three year contract. I can't see him playing it out with the way he folded down the stretch last year.
I'm guessing the Chiefs are looking for a way to part ways with Flowers. He's not a fit for this scheme, and while I don't think Dorsey/Reid/Sutton are slaves to tall corners like Sac suggests they are, I definitely know they aren't down for a 5'9" starter.
Cutting or restructuring Flowers is just too costly, you're dead right. I tried to find a way out that would net the team something positive: a trade (which has the same cap impact as cutting) which would ideally net us a 2nd rounder.
I understand it's unlikely. I was just testing out an idea. That's kind of what these are.
The way you describe it (letting Flowers play out this year, and moving on from him afterwards to save ~$7m) makes the most sense. They can save that amount now, however,
and net a 2nd if they were able to secure a trade.
