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.

Kevin also brings up a good point. Most starting QBs get 14 million guaranteed anyways. I assume Flynn will come in around that too. Either way, it is in his best interest to let the Packers deal him, so he can start. The only thing stopping this would be Green Bay's desire to franchise Jermichael Finley, assuming that's even in their plans.

lot of talk on the radio today of GB using the tag on Flynn

as of right now there are only 2 "top tier" quarterbacks in the draft, Andrew Luck, and RG3.

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.

KC, JAX, St. Louis, all have new head-honchos who will not favor previous regime leftovers...

hell, the Jets may even be looking if they are truly that down on Sanchez.

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

I'm indifferent as well.

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

Reading Seifert's NFC North blog today, it turns out Finley played the highest number of stats among receivers (more than Jennings even). He didn't put up huge numbers, but I'd wager that his presence on the field (particularly in the red zone) opened things up for other guys. There was so much hype surrounding Finley before the season. Whether he lived up to it or not is another matter -- though most of us would agree he hasn't. But he has to be accounted for by defenses. Rodgers and Co. were very dangerous last year without him. This year, Rodgers throws 45 TDs and 4,600+ yards. Can't credit it all to Finley, I know. But ask yourself what was different this year? Do you think a [mostly] healthy James Starks was the difference? Was it merely Rodgers' progression? Might it have something to do with Finley -- a matchup nigthmare -- being out there for 83% of the offensive snaps? I can't quantify it, but methinks it true.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.
