He spent the first six seasons of his career playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.  

Flowers will join second-year player Jason Verrett and Pro Bowler Eric Weddle in the San Diego backfield. 

The Chargers will look to improve on the AFC's sixth-best defense in terms of total yards, but the second-worst defense in terms of yards-per-play given up.

San Diego finished 9-7 last season and missed the playoffs.
