Seattle Seahawks expected to release former starting CB Tre Flowers, source says

SEATTLE -- The Seahawks are expected to release former starting cornerback Tre Flowers in what marks more turnover for Seattle at the position, a source confirms to ESPN.

Flowers began the season as a starter but was benched in favor of Sidney Jones after a loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. Flowers' issues in coverage continued in that game, and afterwards, he described it as a scheme issue while saying there was confusion among some Seattle defenders on how to defend certain route concepts.

Coach Pete Carroll later chalked up Flowers' comments to frustration.

The NFL Network first reported Seattle's plans to release Flowers, saying it was at the cornerback's request.
