In today's Chargers news update, the San Diego Chargers, despite only having around $2 million in salary cap space at the current moment, are looking to make a run at signing former Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl cornerback Brandon Flowers.
Here's the scoop from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network:

After being released by the Chiefs last week, several NFL teams have expressed interest in Flowers - with the Atlanta Falcons said to be frontrunners due to both need and salary cap flexibility.
