To be honest with you I would give serious consideration to getting paid $14 million to be a benchwarmer. If I only had to play one game a year and put up gaudy numbers while doing it, in addition to getting paid a massive sum of money, I would be fine with being the most legendary #2 quarterback of all time.

there are at least 4 teams the "need" a new QB

-Cleveland
-Seattle
-Miami
-Washington

between those teams and a few others such as Oakland who have a new regime it is very possible that if they really want Flynn, they will ask Ted to tag and trade Flynn as to avoid a bidding war.

gaining a first round pick is very unlikley but teams would definatly be willing to part with a second OR perform a pick swap.

example:

pick #36 <---> Matt Flynn and pick #64

Interesting point about Oakland. There's rumors that Philbin and Perry are gonna be the coords, with Moss as HC. So if there was a team that was gonna make that deal with Ted, it would very likely be Reggie McKenzie. Not that Oakland has much in the line of draft picks to give up.

The Niners may be thinking like the '08 Vikings where they were a QB away from a SB run.

Pass rush & OL. Those matter WAY more than whether Finley stays or goes.
