Following Tuesday’s trade, the Washington Football Team has Ereck Flowers back in the fold. Meanwhile, $6MM of his $9MM salary has already been paid for by the Dolphins, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus (Twitter link via ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter). 
Flowers and the ‘Fins agreed to restructure the contract just prior to the trade. Previously, the Dolphins were on the hook for about $20MM over the next two seasons, per the terms of his three-year, $30MM contract. Now, they’ll take about half of that total commitment off of their books, while moving up in the seventh round with a swap of draft picks. The trade will see WFT get Flowers and pick No. 258 while Miami receives No. 244 (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport).
Meanwhile, the Dolphins are moving Robert Hunt to right guard, according to Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald (on Twitter). The decision is yet another signal that Penei Sewell could be a possibility for them at No. 6 overall as they look for a new starting right tackle. For his part, Sewell says he’s comfortable at playing on either side.
thanks for trent williams. sincerely, niners fanbase
You have years to regret that huge guaranteed contract still. Cornelius Lucas actually graded higher than Trent Williams in run blocking last year and close in pass blocking (I was astonished too and don’t really believe it). With some luck you’ll get your money’s worth.
Great news. Redskins fans were sorry to see Flowers leave. Wonderful to have Miami picking up a good portion of his top-of-market salary.
Now it’s time to consider trading Brandon Scherff for a second round pick. Have to wait for one of the serious contenders to have two or three linemen injured (I hope it doesn’t happen but always seems too) and be looking for a late season All Pro transfusion at guard.
Scherff is prolly the highest paid guard in the league, and moving him with that salary is just not going to happen.
BLAH- Another Tackle in the 1rst.. How did that workout with Jake Long?
