The news comes as no surprise. New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman reportedly tried to trade the former first-round pick during the 2018 NFL Draft.
ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports Big Blue sought a mid-round draft pick for Flowers. Other teams clearly felt the price was too high for the 6-foot-6, 325-pound offensive tackle given his play and contract.
The Giants save no cap space by cutting Flowers. But Big Blue could save close to $2.4 million if they are able to find a trade partner, according to Over the Cap.
