Don't know why that got me to laugh, that is a bad signing.

As a tackle yes, let's see what he can do as G which is what he was mainly brought in for. Maybe a change of scenery different OL coach, we'll see. He obviously had some kind of talent to be an overall 9th pick.

Honestly, if Flowers can stay healthy, that'll be an upgrade from Luvao. I'll be in wait and see mode on this signing.

Also, just read that the contract is heavily incentivized. So just another typical meh signing.

How do you guys have the time to watch all these players on other teams? I can understand a high profile position ..but dang I can’t hardly find time to watch the Skins.. 😀

Meh indeed, but meh signing of a player we didn't need but might transition to the position that's been a need for years... why the F didn't we sign a LG then ? There are guys available in FA !

No it won't.

Lavau was a middle of the road just a guy NFL lineman when healthy. He was just never healthy.

Flowers is a bad NFL lineman who has been benched by two teams while healthy.

With all the problems at Guard, why would this team continue to roll the dice with an unproven player at that spot? Really not a smart decision...it would make more sense if Bruce said this was our swing tackle, but Keim stated plan is to give him an opportunity at Guard. There are other better options in free agency.

Flowers shortcomings as a tackle were pretty well known.

If this is the team's "plan A" gor LG, then it would be ridiculous. But given the incentive laden deal, he's not. I'd like to see other offensive linemen signed. And I really hope they address this in the draft.

Flowers is garbage but this isn't a move that says the search for a starting guard is over. He's clearly a backup, I'm sure they'd like to look at him at guard, it's always good to have versatile backups, but much like the DRC signing this really doesn't warrant much of a reaction to me.

Except 4M is a pretty high number for a garbage back up, isn't it?
