Oakland Raiders: Free Agents to watch in the Super Bowl
Trey Flowers
Few defensive linemen in the NFL have boosted their stock as much as Trey Flowers has in the last couple seasons. With sack totals of seven, six and a half, and seven and a half, Flowers has proven to be a consistent pass rushing threat off the edge. Coincidentally, the Raiders are in dire need of a player like that.
One thing for certain? Flowers is going to get paid very handsomely. That number will increase yet again if the New England Patriots emerge victorious over the Rams. With two Super Bowl rings in four seasons, Flowers is bound to be one of the most contested players on the market come March. The Raiders have the cap space to make it happen and they should throw everything at Flowers to bring him in.
Flowers may not be the flashiest player in the world, but he does the little things well. Better yet, his production doesn’t fall off in big games like some other notable pass rushers. In eight career playoff games, Flowers has 5.5 sacks, seven tackles for loss, and 20 quarterback hits. That is pretty consistent.
Similar to the other two on this list, at 25-years-old, Flowers has some of his best football ahead of him. Keep an eye on Flowers against the Rams, if he is able to get the better of Andrew Whitworth, he can do it against just about anybody.
Next. Is Anthony Barr worth a look in free agency?. dark
Any or all of the guys on this list would be great free agent signings for the Raiders. With money to spend and holes to fill, the Raiders need to be active. This weekend we have the chance to watch these guys play in one of the biggest games of their lives, expect them to make some big plays.
