The former first-round pick lost his starting left tackle job to Nate Solder. The Giants signed Tom Brady’s longtime blindside protector to a four-year, $62 million contract in free agency, according to Spotrac.
Head coach Pat Shurmur informed Flowers that he would be moving to right tackle to compete for the starting role after the signing. That reportedly didn’t sit well with Flowers. He was the only player not to report for the start of the team’s voluntary offseason workout program.
The Giants then reportedly put Flowers on the trade block ahead of the 2018 NFL Draft.
