Brandon Flowers Released

Dream on. This guy is a pro bowl cal type CB right now. You will have a dozen teams after him and willing to give him a nice contract to boot. We can't even sign Hardy to a long term now. We have to many guys who do big contracts coming up in the next few years. Much as I like to go after him. But we simply just can't afford him even if we wanted to get him.

Flowers' release seems to come down to a couple of reasons.

The first is the scheme fit in Kansas City. Despite making the Pro Bowl for the first time last season, 2013 was not Flowers best season. He is just 5'9 and it's hard not notice that GM John Dorsey has favored bigger cornerbacks.

The second is his contract, which had a cap number in 2014 of $10.5 million. For the Chiefs, that was one of the four biggest cap hits this season and one they believed they couldn't afford.

 

Despite those reasons, the Chiefs just got worse today. Flowers was still the top cornerback on the Chiefs roster but his value with his big contract just wasn't worth it to the team.

Why did the Chiefs trade him?

They probably tried. The biggest reason they couldn't is that he has a big contract and not many teams can fit that into their salary cap. Plus, once teams start talking about trading a player, other teams may believe they'll just go ahead and try to sign him for cheaper once he's released.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
