Report: Chiefs thought “willing” to trade Brandon Flowers

The Chiefs are reportedly willing to listen on offers for Pro Bowl cornerback Brandon Flowers.

According to Dan Pompei of Bleacher Report, the Chiefs are “believed to be willing to deal” Flowers for draft considerations.

The 28-year-old Flowers made 13 starts for Kansas City a season ago, notching 68 tackles, intercepting one pass and garnering his first-ever Pro Bowl berth.

According to NFLPA data, Flowers is due $5.25 million in 2014, $6.25 million in 2015 and $6.5 million in 2016.

The Chiefs have six picks in this week’s draft. They lack second- and seventh-round selections.

With the 2014 draft considered deep in talent, it will be interesting to see if the names of any other well-compensated veterans circulate in trade rumors. It is not uncommon for veteran-for-pick trades to occur later in drafts, with the Patriots’ 2007 acquisition of Randy Moss a famous example.

I would give up a 7th rounder to take him off their hands. Other than that I dont think so.

Flowers is a very good CB, i'd definitely like to see him in horns at the right price

Flowers was NOT very good last year.

Here's the blurb from Rotoworld.
Dan Pompei of Bleacher Report reports the Chiefs "are believed to be willing to deal" CB Brandon Flowers.

Flowers struggled mightily in DC Bob Sutton's press-man scheme last season, grading out as a bottom-15 cover corner at PFF. He allowed a 66.7 percent completion rate, 846 yards, and four touchdowns in his coverage, while QBs had a 103.9 rating throwing at him. Flowers has three years left on a six-year, $49.35 million deal and may be difficult to move. At 5-foot-9 and 187 pounds, he's best suited to fill the slot role. He somehow made the Pro Bowl last season.

And isn't GW going to ask the CBs to press?

Goes to show whoever makes the ProBowl isn't the best players.

I enjoyed his work in the Killers.
