Giants cut ties with Ereck Flowers

Worth a look on a cheap 1 year deal? Or, move along nothing to see here?

Some of the article.

Ereck Flowers


An offensive tackle who showed some promise earlier in his career, Flowers hasn’t developed the way the Giants were hoping he would. This year he was benched after Week Two and has barely played the last three weeks.

The Giants reportedly tried to trade Flowers but couldn’t find any takers. They still owe him his remaining $1.7 million guaranteed base salary for the rest of this season. He’ll be available on waivers to any team willing to pay that salary, but it’s extremely unlikely any team will claim him.

As a former high first round pick with good physical attributes, Flowers sounded like another Cable special. Raiders need a RT right now, Cable view himself as a reclamation specialist that could turn around problem players. Marriage make in hell?

Solaris also coached this dude, may be he has some insights?

He was terrible. Under Solari.

I can't quite believe I'm saying this, but...we're set at OL right now. A solid swing tackle (Fant), a solid swing guard (Pocic), a solid backup center (Hunt). Hard to see the urgency in grabbing Flowers.

This ^^^.

Some may not agree, but I think we're pretty well set for now. Most of our guys have passed that rookie phase and are developing. The vets we have are solid too.

No need to throw another brick in the mix. That is, unless Solari knows something about him that the rest of the league doesn't. If Solari really wanted him, I figure Schneider would be all over it.
