A person with direct knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press that the New York Giants have declined to pick up the fifth-year option of offensive tackle Ereck Flowers' contract.
The Giants would have been on the hook for $12.5 million in 2019 had the Giants exercised the option on the deal Flowers signed as the ninth pick overall in the 2014 draft.
The person spoke to The AP on the condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the move.
NFL was the first to report the decision.
Flowers has been the Giants' starting left tackle for the past three seasons Fred Warner Jersey , but he has been a disappointment.
General manager Dave Gettleman signed New England Patriots left tackle Nate Solder as a free agent in March. The move meant that Flowers would play right tackle this upcoming season, but he has not showed up for the team's voluntary workouts this spring.
Flowers recently hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent. Flowers' father had represented him. His future with the team remains uncertain.
In other moves, the Giants signed defensive tackle A.J. Francis and quarterback Alex Tanney. They also announced they had been awarded cornerback C.J. Goodwin off waivers from the Arizona Cardinals. Goodwin was released on Tuesday.
Goodwin has played in 28 regular-season games with one start for Atlanta and Arizona. He has 12 tackles (11 solo) and two passes defensed.
Francis has played in nine regular-season games over the past three seasons Garrett Celek Jersey , including six for Washington last season. His most productive game was the 2017 season finale against the Giants, when he had six tackles.
Tanney spent last season on the Tennessee Titans' injured reserve list after breaking his left foot in the preseason finale. He has played in one NFL game, the Titans final game of the 2015 season. He completed 10 of 14 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown in a loss at Indianapolis.
The Browns will again pick first on Day 2 of the NFL draft.
Cleveland has the No. 33 overall pick Stefon Diggs Jersey , a selection at the top of the second round that has traditionally drawn strong interest for trades. General manager John Dorsey's phone could be active overnight before the Browns are back on the clock Friday night with the first of their three second-round picks.
The Browns also have the No. 35 pick, which they acquired from Houston last year in the trade for quarterback Brock Osweiler, and No. 64 Kelvin Benjamin Jersey , which they got from Philadelphia in 2016.
Following the retirement of Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas, the Browns could be in the market for an offensive lineman and Dorsey would also like to add a running back or wide receiver.
Cleveland opened the draft Thursday by picking Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, who broke down in tears when Dorsey called him.
