Ereck Flowers failed the Giants, but the Giants also failed Ereck Flowers. Unless an injury forces a move, his time as a starting player is done, with Chad Wheeler officially listed as the starting right tackle on this week’s depth chart.
Flowers will go quietly, active and in uniform as a backup swing tackle but rarely seen on the field. Then, he will look for employment elsewhere, at 24 years old.
The Giants over-drafted him in 2015, as he was not worth the No. 9 overall pick. Heck, some in their organization had him as a third-round pick.
