Washington wants Ereck Flowers back

Ereck Flowers has had a bumpy journey in the pros, but it looks like he might’ve found a permanent home. Washington wants to bring back the impending free agent, new head coach Ron Rivera told Larry Michael on Redskins Nation, via JP Finlay of NBC Sports. We heard recently that Washington was planning on franchise-tagging right guard Brandon Scherff, and Rivera confirmed that he wants both of the guards back. The Giants drafted Flowers ninth overall back in 2015, and it wasn’t long before he was labeled a bust. After starting at least 15 games in each of his first three seasons with very poor results at both tackle positions, Flowers was released midway through his fourth campaign. He latched on with the Jaguars and started seven games for them in 2018, again struggling mightily. Then he signed a one-year deal with Washington last offseason, and the team moved him to guard during training camp. He thrived in the new position and started all 16 games. As for what it will take to re-sign Flowers, Finlay writes
