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 bet they would like to trade him. No team can look at him as an obvious starter which makes his 5.25 million contract next year (not sure about the following) far to expensive. Hawks might as well just cut him loose now and get the pain over with.

Of course they're willing to trade him, in this QB-starved NFL, they might be able to get more out of him than they paid, even though he NEVER TOOK A SNAP.

I see another Scott Mitchell / Matt Cassel turnout for Flynn if he is traded.

He threw 6 TD's during a regular season NFL game. I'd give him a look too if I were Dorsey/Reid.

I dont see anyone trading for him with that contract. Ill bet they cut him, then someone brings him in.

If Flynn is let go, I'd have no problem with the Chiefs signing him to back-up whoever they draft #1.

No one has ever made more money off one game than Matt Flynn.
I wouldn't be excited about a trade or paying his salary, but I trust Dorsey's opinion of the kid. He's seen a hell of a lot more of him than I have. |

But what other WCO type QB's are available? matt hasselbeck is too old, Vick isn't that good. I suppose you could get one of those guys and start Geno, hope you never have to play your BUQB.

If they don't find a trade partner, he'll BU Wilson, that's what he's doing now.
