Flowers agrees to contract extension.

The Chiefs locked up another one of their better young players Friday when they agreed to a multiyear contract with cornerback Brandon Flowers. The deal is worth $50 million over five years, including $22 million guaranteed, according to a report from the NFL Network.

The move continues a pattern the Chiefs began last year of extending some of their players while they are in the final year of their contracts. Last year, the Chiefs signed linebacker Derrick Johnson and running back Jamaal Charles during the season.

They also re-signed linebacker Tamba Hali during training camp this year.

Most of the Chiefs’ young nucleus is signed at least through the 2012 season except wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and cornerback Brandon Carr. Both of their contracts expire at the end of this season.

Flowers, 25, was the Chiefs’ second-round draft pick in 2008 and became an immediate starter. He began to establish himself as one of the league’s better cornerbacks last season.

The Chiefs had no comment on Flowers’ contract extension. But shortly before the season, coach Todd Haley talked about Flowers in glowing terms.

“I’m excited about Brandon,” Haley said. “He’s a guy that was here when we got here; it took a little adjustment period, but he has been nothing but on board with the way we’re doing things. He’s a tough, competitive guy that has been one of the consistent players for us throughout this two-year period.

“He’s a core player on this team, and I’m excited to see him play his best year yet. I think that Brandon believes that he can be a great corner and he’s done nothing to show me that he’s not going to continue to improve.

“I’m excited to just see him continue to develop.”

as much money hunt hasnt spent we should be able to sign carr and bowe

most of the times i think carr is better than flowers..he`ll want big money also and i,m not sure pioli will pay 2 corners big bucks.

I think this is a good move; Flowers is solid at his position.
