He will likely be worth about a 6 million a year contract.
(That is halfway between Hasslebeck and Tarvaris Jackson contracts this season)

Is he worth that as an insurance policy on the bench?
Is he worth keeping instead of other some of the other free agents (Sitton-No, Wells-No, Finley-? Grant-yes, Nelson-yes)

Where does his money come from under the cap?
Likely from cutting Clifton (5.5 million).
Reference 

Sitton gets his increase from not signing Grant (5.25 million).
Reference 

Wells gets his money from the increase in the salary cap.

I think it comes down to Flynn or Finley.
If Finley gets injured again I know which way Ted will go.
If Finley wants more than 6 million a year, I know which way Ted will go.

Can they keep both Flynn and Finley? Yes, at the expense of Donald Driver.

If Driver is cut, it will have to be early as he is due a 2.2 million roster bonus, $200K workout bonus, and 2.6 million base salary for a total of 5 million due in 2012.

Under the salary cap the team is forced to make choices.

Just because other teams over paid doesn't mean we should. Also those two have a lot more playing time than Flynn has.

And if healthy I'm not sure Grant and Nelson are less valuable because they've seen the field a lot more.

Matt Flynn is as good as gone. Somebody is going to offer more money and a chance to start. It’s a fantasy to expect him to remain with the team for another year just so he can learn from Mike McCarthy’s QB school. McCarthy has already stated he believes Flynn is a future starter. Also, he fit’s the offense of so many teams, so the opportunities are going to be there.

Buffalo
Cleveland (If McCoy flops)
Denver
Miami
Seattle (If Jackson flops)
Washington

I actually think he fits Oakland despite their desire to throw deep all the time. San Francisco is another option if Colin Kaepernick doesn't have a good showing this year.

How good is he?

I think he's every bit as capable as Colt McCoy.

Matt Flynn is going to be a better option at quarterback for some teams willing to give him a shot at the starting position (Buffalo, Miami, San Fran, Cleveland, and maybe Cincy?) and will probably pay him more than GB is willing to offer as a back-up. I really do wish we could keep Flynn because he is one hell of a back up to have around if something were to happen to Rodgers.

I actually said I hope he just has an *off* season if he does get any playing opportunity so it would scare some teams away. Wrong of me? No.

He is already better than Fitzpatrick, Henne, Smith, McCoy, and Dalton and can be a big time upgrade for some of those teams.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
