papasmurfbell Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/05/06/report-chiefs-thought-willing-to-trade-brandon-flowers/ Report: Chiefs thought “willing” to trade Brandon FlowersThe 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 fordraft 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.See if you can't swing it for a 3rd. He has a pretty cheap deal and you could move Webby to FS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenMad Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 That's not a bad deal for a pro bowl CB, however I just can't see us spending that much money on Corners. Jimmy Smith will be due a deal soon and the Ravens have already took up his option for the 5th year which is going to see a big jump in his cap hit. There would just be too much money invested in the Secondary between Webb, Smith and Flowers to do a deal. If we didn't have a starter alongside Webb then I would have done the deal in a heartbeat but $5-$6mill per season over the next 3 seasons could be better spent elsewhere. More likely I see us taking a cheaper option in the draft. There are some really good looking CBs that will be available right through to the end of the 3rd round and a few developmental guys from the 4th to 6th that could have huge upside.
