When the Kansas City Chiefs released cornerback Brandon Flowers, no one knew how much interest he would generate. It is clear now that Flowers is unlikely to be a free agent long: As many as 10 teams have called Flowers for a visit.

Flowers is set to visit the San Diego Chargers and is a solid fit for a team that has put much of its offseason focus on defense. According to Rotoworld, the Chargers have interest in Flowers due to the amount of time they have spent scouting him as a member of the AFC West.

“The Chargers know Flowers well after he spent the first six seasons of his career in the AFC West with the Chiefs. Flowers was released last Friday. The Bolts have one of the shallowest cornerback depth charts in the league. Shareece Wright is the No. 1 by default. GM Tom Telesco used the 25th pick of last month's draft on CB Jason Verrett. Veteran Richard Marshall is also in the mix. Flowers could immediately step in and be DC John Pagano's top corner.”

Flowers has also been monitored by the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee Titans, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets. Multiple reports believe that the Chargers and Lions are the favorites to land the cornerback while the Jets and Vikings are the most unlikely of the interested parties.

Flowers has spent his entire six-year career in Kansas City and has amassed a career that included one Pro Bowl appearance and 17 career interceptions.
