    Does anyone know why? That will surely raise some eyebrows ....

    Rodgers will be making $8M this year (that's without any bonuses). Packers don't want to franchise Flynn, only to have no one put in an offer and be on the hook for $14.4M for a backup who won't see the field, especially when they're only $2.3M under the cap.

    I believe they also franchised Finley.

  • Flynn is Kelly Holcomb 2.0 until he proves otherwise. I'm sure the Browns as some have already mentioned will kick the tires but he's not worth a big contract and CERTAINLY not worth a franchise tag. He was released for a reason.

  • Flynn will cost a lot more than RGIII based on the rookie contract scale from the new CBA.

    THAN GIVE UP THE NEXT TWO PICKS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THAN,, NOT THEN.

    Typos are acceptable, but when you are oblivious to using the proper word it sticks out like a Sore thumb.

    You would rather Bring in Flynn............. THAN............. not then.

    Excessive commas and random capitalization for the win!

    If you're going to be a grammar nazi, make sure your grammar is correct.

  • Just to clarify, Matt Flynn was not released. The Packers just let his contract expire making him an unrestricted free agent. No team would release a good backup QB. The Packers just can't afford to pay him the money he is going to want, which is why he will sign with another team.

  • If nothing else, it adds another scenario to the mix. Interesting off season to say the least.

  • 45 days a snoring.....zzzzzz....

  • Can anyone here show me he's better than McCoy?

    So you say he's not on the Packers, got it.

  • Phase one of degrading the rams pick

    Phase two will be Peyton leaving

    Once these two QBs are making those wheels turn the value of RG3 drops dramatically at 2 esp if washington picks up either of those two QBs

  • The conventional wisdom is that Matt Flynn will go to the Dolphins, thus taking them out of any running for RGIII. That plus the acrimony over the Rams getting Fisher.

    Then, in my view, it is 50/50 as to whether or not Payton Manning stays with the Colts. Assuming he doesn't is there any reason to believe that the Redskins, given Dan Snyder's propensity for going after big names, would not be a player for Payton Manning's services? I doubt that they would take on Payton and then also want to make a major trade for RGIII.

    If that happens, then that would leave the Browns as the major suitor for RGIII...and would vastly lower the trade demands the Rams may want....or certainly what the Browns may be willing to pay.

    Then who would be the Browns competition? Seattle? Buffalo? Kansas City? Denver? Arizona?

    Could any of them go crazy and offer any package to the Rams that would trump the Browns?

  • would you pay manning 28 million without knowing if he can play again?

    its not 50/50....its about 99% that he's gone.

    Except all the talk is about that 28 million dollar deal being renegotiated...so that may be a non factor. I understand that both sides would like to continue their relationship....just at what cost....and to what affect for the future if Luck is there.

    He was looking pretty strong in that "leaked" video.

  • so he looked "strong" in shorts and no pressure. you know better than that couch...

  • Hopefully he goes to Miami, I wouldnt pay him the contract he is going to want...And i hope Manning ends up in Washington

  • What will truly be interesting is if:

    The Redskins get Manning and the Dolphins get Flynn (or visa versa) and that leaves the Rams only the Cardinals, 49ers or Seahawks to trade with for RGIII. I doubt either of those 3 teams will be willing to pay a premium to trade within the division. Therefore, the Rams pick Kalil, and we have RGIII sitting there.

    My guess is, if RGIII is waiting for us, we will trade with Seattle or Arizona for the rights to take him at #4. Trading back, and we will get Tannehill.

  • Tannehill should go somewhere where he can sit behind an established QB and learn for awhile

    Not Cleveland
