When word broke Monday that the Giants were going to trade or release tackle Ereck Flowers, the trade option wasn’t taken too seriously given the $1.69 million Flowers was still set to make this season under the terms of his rookie deal with the Giants.
That proved to be the right reaction as Flowers wound up on the waiver wire Tuesday. That contract would have moved to any team that claimed him off of waivers, so there’s equally little surprise to hear multiple reports that Flowers cleared waivers on Wednesday.
At a lower price, there is reportedly interest in his services. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports multiple teams have reached out to Flowers and that he is set to visit the Jaguars on Thursday.

I’ve disagreed OF LATE with his POVs, but he’s always a must read for me. Most of this board should be as “bad” as he is.

So many saying that this ruins Coughlin’s credibility. Right, just one visit from Flowers indicates that Coughlin does not have an eye for talent and in fact the Jaguars are not a supremely talented team. The fact they almost went to the Super Bowl last year was actually just a mirage.
Most of their talent was there before Coughlin was hired.
Nothing to see here. Flowers, a former multi-year starter and #9 pick in the draft being brought in for due diligence by a team down to its 3rd string LT. Same being done by other teams who are bringing Flowers in. They signed Nassib for a week too. Of course, won't prevent the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight here from proposing a narrative attempting to justify the foolishness of their failed prescriptions for team improvement.
Just saying.
and McAdoo and Reese are... where?
Reese us rich AF. He was a scout for us for like 20 years before he became the GM.
He has 2 rings, and really has no need to be a GM ever again.
The time commitment involved in being a GM is taxing on the family conditions as well.
I'm pretty sure he even said he would be taking a year off after he was canned.
Not everyone is Tom Coughlin and wants to work to the day they die.
Just saying.
I defended him up until Coughlin was fired. I thought Reese should have been let go when Coughlin was fired but the Giants made a huge mistake in sticking with him.
and McAdoo and Reese are... where?
Uhhh Coughlin was looking for a HC job and there were no takers. Nobody was willing to hire him as a coach after we canned him. What does that say about him?
And the Jax roster was stacked when he got there. They continued to add good pieces when he joined but this wasn’t a roster rebuild by Coughlin.. or should I say, St. Coughlin.
