Just want to say thanks to the Hunt family for the 6years in Kansas City thanks to the fans and my teammates for some great years.

Detroit - a rumored destination for Brandon Flowers - just released Chris Houston, too.

The #Chiefs have announced they’ve released cornerback Brandon Flowers.

Chiefs released CB Brandon Flowers.
Flowers' performance and usefulness in Kansas City slipped dramatically under new DC Bob Sutton last season, as a press-man scheme was installed in the secondary and Flowers failed to find a fit. He wound up mostly at slot corner, and was beaten relentlessly. The Chiefs were trying to trade Flowers, but found no takers for his contract. Flowers had some of the best years of his career under now-Texans DC Romeo Crennel, and cornerback depth is needed in Houston. We wouldn't be surprised to see them reunite. Flowers turned 28 in February.

Chargers agreed to terms with CB Brandon Flowers on a one-year contract.
The deal is worth "up to" $5 million and contains $3 million in total guarantees. Despite an anemic 2013 season as a misfit in Bob Sutton's press-man scheme, Flowers found a full bushel of suitors after the Chiefs released him 11 days ago. He lands in a spot where he can immediately rehab his value as a starting corner and then hit the open market again at age 29. Flowers put plenty of really good tape together from 2008-12, and will add borderline Pro Bowl shadow ability to a pass defense that ranked 29th in the league last year. With first-round corner Jason Verrett also added to incumbents Shareece Wright and Richard Marshall, this won't be quite the unit to pick on that it was last season.

He's a Charger now.

Owens is the only corner we have now under 6'. Dorsey and the defensive staff obviously prefer bigger, taller, and faster corners.

Hali will be the next to go, then DJ, then Bowe, then Charles. No rings for any of them.

Sure was fun to watch them play for shit quarterbacks, shit coaches and shit GMs though.

The cupboard will soon be bare.

Bring in the next batch. More meat for the grinder.

Did what needed to be done. The chiefs have way too many guys under performing and overpaid. We need our young guys to really step up to get rid of even more overpaid players next next season. Pretty damn hard to have a complete team when you're forced to overpay guys like devito, smith, etc. Because none of the guys on rookie contracts are worth a damn.

Well put. For ONCE we agree...

That made literally no sense. Flowers had to be cut in order for them to use his money to re-sign a player. You're trying to say they should have re-signed a player before cutting him.

Should have been done earlier if they were going to do it. Was waiting till after June 1 worth the opportunity cost?

This is what the Pats have done for years. It's better to let go of these guys a year too early than a year too late.
Clay, once again your agenda is showing. Sometimes tough football decisions have to be made. That's what this was. You want to blame someone, blame Peehole E for letting Carr walk.

It made perfect sense...cut him EARLY & USE THE $$$$. You constantly try to put words in my mouth instead of trying to improve your own comprehension.

You might want to read around and see why they couldn't cut him early first...

Yes. It was the only way to save the 7.5 mil this year. That money can go to Houston or Smith now. If they cut him early, they wouldn't have had that money.

The Pats can justify it with rings, though not recently...FWIW, I always felt Carr was better. Flowers was always getting dinged up.
