Flowers is a very good player but he is seemingly better rushing inside. He reminds me a bit of Michael Bennett in that respect. A guy who doesn't dominate outside but can be moved around like a chess piece and can do many different things. If other teams are just going to line him up on the edge then they will be slightly disappointed in their return I feel.
In 2016, Michael Bennett signed a 3 year extension at $10.5m a year. That was about 6.76% of the cap at the time. That equates to $12.9m for the 2019 cap (assuming its $190m). The other guy I think he's similar to is Melvin Ingram. He signed a larger 4 year contract at $16m a year last season.
I would put him somewhere between these two numbers personally, at around $14m-15m a year. Whether that is enough to get it done I don't know - I'm banking in the fact that Trey and Bill share an agent. I'm slightly concerned that Miami and Brian Flores will come calling for him in free agency...
