Brandon Flowers wasn’t around for Chiefs OTAs. And now he won’t be around for any other activities either.
The Chiefs announced they had released the high-priced cornerback Friday afternoon.
Flowers was scheduled to make a $5.25 million this year, and because of those numbers, the Chiefs were willing to trade him. They’ll be able to split the dead money over two years by cutting him now.
The Chiefs were looking to get younger and bigger at the position, but it’s still shocking to see Pro Bowl-level players cut just before the weekend.
