On May 17, 2018, the Seahawks signed Flowers to a four-year, $2.75 million contract that included a signing bonus of $298,729.[7]
Flowers entered training camp as a backup cornerback, but began competing for a job as the starting cornerback after he quickly transitioned to the position and impressed the coaching staff.[8][9] He competed for the starting cornerback job against veterans Byron Maxwell and Dontae Johnson.[10] Head coach Pete Carroll named Flowers a starting cornerback after injuries to both Maxwell and Johnson.[11] He was named a starter alongside Shaquill Griffin and safeties Bradley McDougald and Earl Thomas.
He made his professional regular season debut and first career start in the Seahawks' season opener at the Denver Broncos, and recorded eight combined tackles and a pass deflection in their 27–24 loss. Flowers primarily covered Pro Bowl wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders during the game and allowed 10 receptions on 11 targets for 135 yards and a 43-yard touchdown.[12] Flowers was inactive for the Seahawks' Week 2 loss at the Chicago Bears due to a hamstring injury.[13]
Flowers entered the 2020 season third on the depth chart behind Shaquill Griffin and Quinton Dunbar. He played in 11 games with seven starts before being placed on injured reserve on December 5, 2020.[14] On January 2, 2021, Flowers was activated off of injured reserve.[15]

Flowers was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals on October 14, 2021.[17] Flowers served in a specialty role covering tight ends, most notably holding Travis Kelce to just 25 yards in Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He played for the team in Super Bowl LVI, recording three combined tackles and one solo tackle.
On April 9, 2022, Flowers re-signed with the Bengals.[18]
Flowers began the 2022 season as the third cornerback on the depth chart, behind Chidobe Awuzie and Eli Apple, though he continued his role as the team's tight end coverage specialist.
In Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Flowers recorded his only interception with the Bengals, helping the team begin their comeback to score 31-unanswered points in the second half to win the game 34–23.
