Matt Flynn Likely To Be A Free Agent

  • yea, if I'm not mistaken placing a franchise tag on Flynn would require the packers to pay him the minimum of the top five salaries in the NFL in no one offers for him, which would also cost the team two 1st round picks. I highly doubt anyone would give up two 1st rounds for the guy and then they'd be stuck paying him more than Aaron Rodgers which is laughable.

    Matt Schaub and Cutler are examples of when this works, but Kolb (as of now) and Cassell not so much. Again, I trust the opinion of Holmgren on this one.

    Yes, we will probably have to give up at least a 2nd round pick...if not a first. Green Bay will place a franchise tag on him as fast as Sean Connerey can slap a woman in the face.

    if we can get Tom Clements with the deal I'm in...of course still a chance that the Saints could shock everyone and trade Drew B. and then pick up this kid? I think he used to play for LSU...stranger things have happened.

    That is the most foolish thing I've ever heard...Brees will always be a Saint.

    No, that's ridiculous. Why would the saints trade brees, a proven winner, in favor of Matt flynn, a nobody who's played like two games. Not saying flynn isn't good but trade brees? Gtfo.

  • If we get Flynn, it should be Coples or Blackmon with the 4.

    I think if they franchise tag him then he's also guarenteed a bigger contract than 7-8 million.

    I think it'll be around 14.5 mil..... I really can't imagine them doin that

  • Maybe if they'd pulled rogers (never happen) and flynn had won that game I could see them franchising then trading him, but as it is they probably let him walk. They've got rogers and he's in his prime, no need to go to those lengths for flynn.

    Agreed. No way the Packers spend 14.5 million on a backup QB. No one would trade for him at that price and the Packers would be stuck with paying all the money. He will sign with someone else as a free agent..

  • Picking up Flynn this offseason would be a great move for the Browns... Him and McCoy can battle it out this year, one of them has to be good enough to be our guy

    I hear that Sean Connery passed away today.

    Although I am also hearing that this may be a hoax.

  • This thread is too simplistic.

    I also hope the Browns pick up a top-flight FA.. but Flynn should not be that guy. The question isn't "Flynn or not?" but rather "Should Flynn be the one big FA signing the Browns will make?"

    That one FA signing should be Campbell, the DE from Arizona who just finished his rookie contract. He's a much more secure bet - and has more potential benefit to the Browns - than Flynn.

  • The rumors of my demise..........

    I don't want to see the Browns go after Flynn. He's only been seen in 2 games. The back up always looks good, at first. Put Colt in those 2 games and he he would look the same way.

    Browns fans and I include myself need to to stop always looking to the next guy to be the savior. Brady, Brady, Brady, Brady,..... Stick to the plan.
