Matt Flynn rumors: Seahawks would reportedly trade QB
http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/1/2...umors-seahwaks
http://twitter.com/JasonColeYahoo/st...82142142918656 Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn's strange season — in which he went from presumed starter in Seattle to backup to one of the season's best story lines — has ended, and not surprisingly, trade talks have swirled around Flynn ever since the Seahawks' season ended. Not backing down from the rumors, Seattle has reportedly informed Flynn that he indeed is on the trading block and the Seahawks are willing to part ways with the remaining two years of his contract. But for the many teams in need of an upgrade at the quarterback position, Seattle's quarterback situation has actually convinced other teams to avoid talking potential trades. Rookie Russell Wilson notably gave the Seahawks a viable, cheap and exciting new face to the franchise at quarterback, and Flynn never really got a chance to prove his worth after signing a three-year, $19.5-million contract in March 2012. Now, with the option to either trade or cut Flynn, many teams expect Seattle to simple cut the quarterback, opening up the chase for the former backup to Aaron Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers without any team having to send Seattle anything in return. Teams who are likely interested in keeping as much of the draft picks and young talent that they currently have while pursuing other options at quarterback would certainly prefer to sign Flynn on the open market as opposed to having to give up anything in return. Flynn, who originally attracted much of the attention pointed his way during a Week 17 start against the Detroit Lions to close out the 2011 season, could land with a number of teams next season, either as a starter or a trustworthy backup. Teams interested in Flynn in either a starting or backup role could include the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which all missed the playoffs in 2012 and could be looking for a change of tone in their offenses. |

I am starting to realize that its pointless to be a Chiefs fan.
they want nothing more than to permanently suck. |

I don't get the Jason Campbell love, either. The guy's never been good - anywhere. Even at Auburn in 2004 he was a game manager that rode the backs of Cadillac Williams & Ronnie Brown.

I'm just saying, if Geno Smith gets drafted #1... I think he should start day #1.
I don't want Flynn or some other teams leftovers taking snaps from our own project. Russel Wilson, Luck, RG3, Cam Newton, Dalton, etc have all came out and helped turn thier franchise around day #1. Rodgers is the only one I can think of that rode the bench for awhile. |

Would be surprised if he didn't end up in Arizona, although teams dont like to trade in division.

The Seahawk depth chart does not show a third QB. Flynn can wear a headset and hold a clipboard at the same time. Impressive

2 teams have easily given up on Matt Flynn, (respectable teams). If there was something special there, he would not be on the market. It amazes me that Chiefs fans are obsessed with other teams scraps... especially coming from the Cassel era. |

Not sure why there are so many saying NO... provided a QB is still taken at one, why be upset with any moves made to bolster that unit?
I would LOVE to see a "kitchen sink" philosophy in action, as i said in another thread... almost nothing should be considered over the top at that position. |

He's a Foles situation type guy, bring him in as competition for a QB we draft.
Don't want to trade for him though because that locks us into his starter-ish contract. Foles is still on his draftee contract

All his run based on performing albeit well in one game.
I'd be mildly interested as a FA to provide depth to augment a high draft pick who would be the future. |
