I really think this is the best option. We won't have to give up any picks for him. I think we have a few teams to worry about as far as bidding for his service, but he'd fit in here since he's been in the type of offense we run and I'd prefer him to trading up and giving away picks for RG3. A Flynn and McCoy competition would only be good for this team and we could fill the rest of the holes through the draft.

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.

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.

I hear that Sean Connery passed away today.

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

Him and McCoy can battle it out this year, one of them has to be good enough to be our guy

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

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..

They've got rogers and he's in his prime, no need to go to those lengths for flynn.

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.

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.

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

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.

Sigh, again it is highly unlikely that Green Bay wil place a franchise tag on him.

Kolb and Cassell are great recent examples. Scott Mitchell one from the past who parlayed a few good games into a giant free agent deal that never panned out.

I guess a question is what was the last free agent QB that really did help the team that he went to?

He knows the system we run, he's learned under a top 2-3 QB in the NFL and under the best offense overall in the NFL. Even though he has only made 2 starts he does fit perfectly into the browns system. Not to mention I'm sure Holmgren has some ties or connections in the Green Bay organization. The only thing that worries me is that he's going to wield a big contract, my guess in the 7-8 mill a year range. We have the money but that's a big gamble
