Honestly, I do not know how you can let him walk just like that. Sure, you may get a compensatory pick, but based on his value right now, he's worth a heck of a lot more than a potential 3rd rounder.

Seriously, with our needs getting a high pick or two would be pretty damn awesome.

I'm looking at the Redskins as possible partners, assuming Ted franchises Flynn. Or the Seahawks. Considering John Schenider is there... that may be possible destination even if Carrol says the team is committed to Travaris Jackson. This is, of course, assuming the Packers have the franchise tag to use on Flynn (Finley being unsigned makes that pretty unlikely).

Kolb was a 2nd and a pro-bowl cb.. I bet we could pry a #2 from Seattle especially with Barkley staying at USC.

Matt Flynn will not get tagged, not Franchise, nor Transition tag, unless a team comes to the Packers stating they'd trade for him. Why would a team do this? To ensure THEY get Matt Flynn instead of another team. UNLIKELY.

There is no reason for the Packers to risk paying the average of the Top 5 QB's (especially with Peyton Manning getting 28 million) when they have other players to retain.

Franchise Tag = average of top five
Transition Tag = average of top ten
