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.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
