[UPDATE: The Giants waived Flowers on Tuesday morning.]
The Giants haven’t lined up a deal yet, but they’re still hoping to complete a trade for tackle Ereck Flowers by 4pm ET/3pm CT on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. If they can’t find a suitable deal, Flowers’ agent Drew Rosenhaus expects multiple teams to be interested in his client once he’s released. In that instance, he believes Flowers would have a new home by the end of the week.
Flowers, a former first-round pick, is in the final year of his rookie contract, and it’s hard to imagine another club giving up something of value and taking on his salary. Still, the Giants are working hard to make it happen, and they may be willing to offset the expense by including cash in the deal.
The Giants have already earmarked practice squad lineman Brian Mihalik as the replacement for Flowers, allowing them to use a tackle who is already familiar with their blocking schemes on a short week. The 1-4 Giants will look to get back on the right track when they face the Eagles on Thursday night at the Meadowlands.
“Multiple teams to be interested” lmaoooo YEAH OKAY.
“Multiple teams interested” lmaooo….YEAH OKAY
Yeah, someone is gonna pick him up. Look, even Bobby Hart was signed by another team after getting released at the end of last year. Flowers will benefit from the dearth of even lousy failed OT’s. There will be at least one OL coach on a team who will believe (hope) he can change him. Curious if someone signs him and then tries him at guard.
I’m sure someone will bite the bullet and take the chance but for his management to say that MULTIPLE teams have interest. It’s really hard to believe that anyone with a sane mind has watched him play even once and wants that a part of their team
Multiple teams including the Orlando Storm and Rapid City Barnstormers…
Crazy to think if the 63 yard FG giants would have a shot at first place on Thursday.
