Less than a week after signing ex-Giants safety Landon Collins on a reported six-year deal, the Washington Redskins aren't showing any signs of slowing down as they continue to shape their 2019 roster.
ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Washington has plans to meet with free agent tackle Ereck Flowers Sunday night.
The former No. 9 overall pick out of Miami in the 2015 NFL Draft has played in 59 games over four seasons and finished 2018 in Jacksonville after being waived by the Giants in October.
Washington has left tackle Trent Williams and right tackle Morgan Moses under contract heading into 2019, but with swing tackle Ty Nsekhe's departure to Buffalo this offseason, it's clear how much of a priority this free agency frenzy is to the front office.
Wherever Flowers ultimately ends up, the 24-year-old will be looking to rejuvenate his career.

As soon as the Redskins picked him 15th overall in Thursday's first round of the NFL Draft, Dwayne Haskins picked up millions of new fans.
He also got a tweet from one very, very, very, VERY famous supporter, a guy who rooted for him when he starred at Ohio State last season.
Here's what LEBRON JAMES had to say in response to a post from teammate Josh Hart, who was imploring James to join the Burgundy and Gold bandwagon after Haskins' arrival:
So, Haskins isn't enough to entice James to start throwing around HTTRs, but the NBA legend is already backing the franchise's new passer. Not too shabby for a 21-year-old rookie.

The Redskins snagged Dwayne Haskins in Round 1 of the NFL Draft on Thursday. But then, they decided they wanted more.
So, Washington traded back into the first round into the 26th slot and picked up Mississippi State pass rusher Montez Sweat, too.
Talk about putting in work.
The Redskins gave up their second-round choice this year (No. 46 overall) as well as their 2020 second-rounder to move into the Colts' position late on Thursday night. In return, they added an athletic prospect who could be a huge problem for offensive lineman opposite of Ryan Kerrigan.
Sweat accrued double-digit sacks in each of his past two seasons for the Bulldogs, then blew up at the Combine. His 4.41 40-yard dash is absurd for someone at his size and his wingspan is about as good as it gets for NFL players as well.
So, why'd he last until 26?
Well, Sweat was diagnosed with a heart condition that could have scared some teams away. However, reports are now saying that condition may not be as serious or worrisome as originally believed.
Of course, the medical side needs to be sorted out. However, what's clear right away is this: The 'Skins not only added a potential franchise passer Thursday in Nashville, they also were aggressive in getting a guy that might elevate their defense to a new level.
Now, Sweat joins what is already a stacked and young front-seven and will line up alongside the likes of Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne and Matt Ioannidis. To opposing QBs who'll face the Burgundy and Gold next year, here's a piece of advice: Know where your hot read is so you can get that ball out fast.
