Would that give us a matching number of CBs and safeties? Anyone for a 1-10 defense? That would keep our DL verrrry fresh...

If we can afford him, **** yeah.

We don't have the cap space and the secondary is already crowded; I don't think it's a good idea

Somebody will overpay for his services. It won't be us.

Probably the Lions, they coincidentally released Chris Houston at the same time, are in the market & they love to overpay their guys, :lol:.

Sign him with what? Monopoly money?

We are only 1 mil below the cap and jimmys deal is yet to get sorted

Well, Jimmy currently has his "number" against the cap; we're waiting to see what the grievance hearing will have as effect on the contract negotiations; even if the number is adjusted, Graham could do a contract that would have a low cap number this year and get his big mo next season and thereafter...

Absolutely no chance in hell that this guy ends up in black and gold. We're loaded at the position for now, and we're cash strapped. We may end up adding an offensive tackle for depth....particularly at LT, but I think everything else is a done deal, barring any injuries, of course.

Re: Chiefs Release CB Brandon Flowers
 
I compare this to Sproles situation. Salary, age, less effective... Someone will have unrealistic expectations and overpay this guy.

Champ Bailey is cheaper and just as effective.

Re: Chiefs Release CB Brandon Flowers
 
Injury bug is catching up to him. But if we view our super bowl window as closing with each passing year because of Drews age then to make the move might be in the cards. as for the cap it would be all up to Mickey to pull another rabbit out his hat to sign him.

myself i would stay with what we got but if the saints did make the move i can see why. the window is closing in their opinion.

Don't care enough to find the link, but they're supposedly looking at Vilma too.

Yeah, they've got a lot of holes to fill.

I feel really bad for them.

Pioli working for the Failclowns makes it almost a sure thing that Flowers will join his former teammates on the Atlanta Chiefs. Seems like their whole offseason plan was to sign 700 nickel corners and defensive tackles.

Had me there for a second. Was already working on a "C'mon man!" for you.

That doesn't make any sense at all.

What in the world does that this mean? Does it mean yes, make it happen or No, we're already set roster wise? Terribly worded and confusing.

This might be the worst poll I've ever read in my entire life.

This poll is fine. The only thing that's missing is Bacon, or a Shrimp Po' Boy now that I think about it.

Remember, polls aren't supposed to make sense. Most things aren't supposed to make sense....

Great point, and oddly enough NOT one of the confusing poll options.:p

He's also a zone CB who struggles in man and press.

Did someone say Houston got released from Detroit?

Re: Chiefs Release CB Brandon Flowers
 
I read last month that he graded out as the 97th CB in the league. If he was any good, he'd still be a Chief. Pass.

I agree with this. Detroit would be an ideal landing spot for Flowers. And the Lions released Houston because he couldn't cut it anymore at CB.

As far as the Saints, I think Rob Ryan is going to play press coverage most of the time, and I don't think Flowers is press man corner (he is better in zone or off-man). So I don't think we could make use of his services.

Yeah, even though I voted, "the more, the merrier" when I look at the Saints secondary, there's a group of guys that'll get the job done ... Wk #7 is gonna' come down to "whom can cover whom" & the Lions come up a bit short in that matchup, IMO. Having cap-issues of their own to contend with has prevented them from addressing their secondary woes up to this point. Woulda' like to have seen them make a play for Bailey or someone of that caliber, they definitely need some help at CB.

Flowers was atrocious last season and he's only 28 years old. That's a huge red flag for me especially with the salary he's likely to command. His skill set doesn't really fit here imo. Somewhere like Tampa would be an ideal landing spot for him.

I am more than comfortable with what we have. I want P-Rob to lockdown that #2 spot. I looking forward into seeing what Ryan can mold P-Rob in to.

Flowers has bloomed already... and is wilting at the stem. Pass, especially since the Chiefs passed on him.

Steelhead 06-16-2014 12:48 PM

Re: Chiefs Release CB Brandon Flowers
 
Flowers is a cover corner, and a good one. He was under a new system last year that was not suited to his abilites, as he is not a press corner.

Flowers will go to a team where his skills will be used, and that being said it will not be the Saints, first for Cap reasons and second Rob Ryan demands versatilty from his DB's which seems to be a problem for Flowers.

NFL RUMORS: Brandon Flowers

It was thought that when Brandon Flowers was sent packing by the Kansas City Chiefs, he wouldn’t be out of a job for long. Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun tweets that ten teams have contacted him. However, he only mentions the Baltimore Ravens, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions.

The majority of these teams are just inquiring. But Ian Rapoport added that the Falcons are a potential suitor.
