Chiefs notes: Flowers near
The Chiefs drafted Brandon Flowers hoping he could eventually be their first home-grown Pro Bowl cornerback since Dale Carter more than a decade ago.
The Chiefs drafted Brandon Flowers hoping he could eventually be their first home-grown Pro Bowl cornerback since Dale Carter more than a decade ago.
They wanted Flowers, who will replace Ty Law in the lineup, in training camp on time, and there were signs Tuesday that a contract agreement was near.
“We’re getting close,” said Flowers’ agent, Andy Ross. “We’ve been talking. I think we’ll be able to finish it up (today).”
The Chiefs drafted Flowers early in the second round. He and Patrick Surtain are the starters, but another rookie, fifth-round pick Brandon Carr, could eventually push Surtain for a starting spot.
The Chiefs continued to work on contract agreements with their two first-round picks, defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey and offensive linemen Branden Albert.
Training camp begins Friday in River Falls, Wis.
•TIME CHANGE FOR RAMS GAME: Kickoff for the Chiefs’ Aug. 28 preseason game against St. Louis at Arrowhead Stadium was pushed up to 6 p.m. It was initially set for 7 p.m. The NFL asked the Chiefs to move the time to accommodate national TV coverage of the Democratic convention.
•LINEBACKER ADDED: Linebacker Aden Durde will join the Chiefs’ practice squad as an international developmental player. Durde played in the now-defunct NFL Europe for five seasons. He is a native of Middlesex, England.
