The move saves $10 million against the cap but leaves Washington with yet another hole at guard after RG Brandon Scherff bolted in free agency. Flowers has never been a high-end starter, but he can offer around league average play at several positions. He should find a new home quickly. 

The Dolphins jettison Flowers -- a complete bust since being drafted as a first rounder in 2015 -- a year after signing him to a three-year, $30 million deal, with nearly $20 million guaranteed. As part of the deal, Flowers' contract was restructured to have Miami pay his $6 million signing bonus this year and Washington foot the bill for his $3 million base salary. Flowers' conditioning was a major issue for the Dolphins early last season, and the veteran spent time on the COVID-19 list. After playing 16 games in the 2019 season in Washington, Flowers will rejoin a solid offensive line a year after allowing five sacks and being graded by Pro Football Focus as the league's 100th best offensive lineman. 

It's an inauspicious Dolphins start for the $30 million free agent, though he still has weeks to get cleared for Week 1. Flowers' conditioning could certainly be an early-season issue, however. Flowers is a big part of the Dolphins' plan to turn around their laughably bad 2019 run blocking. 

The deal reportedly includes $19.95 million guaranteed. A titanic bust since entering the league as the No. 9 overall pick of the 2015 draft, Flowers partially rehabbed his value with the Redskins last season but not to the degree that he should be getting $20 million guaranteed. The Dolphins must adore what they saw on tape. Flowers is still arguably an upgrade for a line that ranked 32nd and 29th, respectively, in adjusted line yards per rush and adjusted sack rate (Football Outsiders) last season, but this has the feel of a massive overpay.
