The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent defensive back Tre Flowers and linebacker Ty Summers to undisclosed deals on Thursday. In corresponding moves, the team waived linebacker Dequan Jackson after waiving undrafted free-agent receiver Wayne Ruby on Wednesday. Flowers, who was a former fifth-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2018, lasted played for Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen in Atlanta in 2023. In 90 career games (44 starts), he's had 283 tackles, 22 pass breakups, five forced fumbles and four interceptions. Flowers will give Jacksonville more depth in their secondary in 2024. Summers, 28, was taken in the seventh round in 2019 by the Packers. He was with Green Bay for three seasons before being waived. Summers has started only one game in his career.
Former Cincinnati Bengals and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tre Flowers is set to join the Atlanta Falcons on a one-year deal. The 27-year-old corner brings much-needed depth to the Falcons' cornerback room. Rising star AJ Terrell and former No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah are slated to be the starting cornerbacks in the base defense for Atlanta, but Mike Hughes and Flowers could be the next men up after Atlanta released former Pro Bowler Casey Hayward. Flowers, a fifth-round pick in 2018, has totaled 259 tackles, 20 pass deflections, and four interceptions in six NFL seasons.
Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) injured his right hamstring in the Monday night game against the Cleveland Browns and has been declared out for the rest of the contest. Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (knee) was also injured earlier in the game and has been ruled out, so Cincy's secondary is extremely vulnerable, and the Browns have been taking advantage all night. Cam Taylor-Britt and Eli Apple have struggled on Monday night -- Apple was benched. If Awuzie's and Flowers' injuries are serious enough to cause them to miss time, the Bengals secondary could be in serious trouble for a Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers before their bye in Week 10.
The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed cornerback Tre Flowers to a one-year, $1.85 million deal with $500,000 guaranteed, according to a source. Flowers was cut by the Seattle Seahawks after five games last season and then joined the Bengals for 11 games, primarily in a special teams role. The 26-year-old finished the season with a career-low 39 tackles (29 solo), one pass defensed and one fumble recovery in 16 games (four starts) with Seattle and Cincinnati. Flowers will likely have a similar role in 2022, putting him well off the fantasy radar in IDP leagues. He was originally a fifth-round pick by the Seahawks in 2018 out of Oklahoma State.
The Cincinnati Bengals claimed cornerback Tre Flowers off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. Flowers requested his release after being demoted from a starting role early this season in Seattle. The former fifth-round pick in 2018 will provide valuable depth and experience for the Bengals secondary. Flowers had 212 tackles (172 solo), three interceptions, 16 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and two sacks in 47 games (40 starts) over his four seasons with the Seahawks. He's also moving to a defense that prefers man coverage, which has been a strength for Flowers in the past.
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tre Flowers made a couple of huge plays to help keep the Seahawks in it early. First, he sacked quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo when he went completely unblocked on a cornerback blitz. Then, with the ball in George Kittle's hands and San Francisco bearing down on the first-down marker, he was able to make the tackle and hold SF to a field goal. When every game between the two rivals comes down to inches, plays like that by the Seahawks Defense can make all the difference. Unfortunately, they came up short this week, but they'll face a struggling Philadelphia Eagles team next week. Hopefully, they can redeem themselves.
