Flores Steals $11M Star from Eagles, Labels Roseman a Fool

Brian Flores just pulled off a heist, and he’s rubbing it in Howie Roseman’s face. The Minnesota Vikings’ defensive mastermind snatched cornerback Isaiah Rodgers from the Philadelphia Eagles on a two-year, $11 million deal in free agency, and Flores isn’t shy about crowing. “Howie’s a fool to let us steal this guy,” he smirked at the NFL owners meetings, per ESPN’s Kevin Seifert. Vikings fans are toasting; Philly’s faithful are torching X.

Minnesota jumped fast in 2025 free agency, re-signing Byron Murphy Jr. for three years while snagging Rodgers to plug their gaping boundary CB hole. Forget low-risk flyers—Flores pegged Rodgers as his prize early. “Flo’s got that tone, and he’s dead-on,” HC Kevin O’Connell said, hyping Rodgers as an “every-down impact thief” opposite Murphy. No camp scraps with Mekhi Blackmon or Jeff Okudah—Rodgers is the loot.

The 27-year-old was Philly’s playoff shadow warrior in their Super Bowl LIX march, racking up 421 snaps and locking down Rams receivers in a snowy divisional slugfest. But buried behind Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and a preseason hand injury, Rodgers slipped through Roseman’s fingers. A 2023 gambling ban kept him fresh—$8 million guaranteed for that? Flores practically picked Howie’s pocket.

“Roseman missed a star right under his nose,” Flores jabbed, per sources. The Vikings might still draft a CB in ‘25, but Rodgers is the now—he’s tailor-made for Flores’ blitz-heavy chaos. Eagles fans are livid: “11 million for a playoff beast? Howie got robbed!” one X post raged. Another fumed, “Flores mugged us blind!” Philly’s secondary depth took a hit, and Minnesota’s grinning like bandits. Roseman’s magic? This time, it’s Flores holding the wand—and the loot.
