So is the hold up that Flynn does not want to restructure? I guess we know which he cares more about between money or the chance to play.

Or he just doesn't want to go to the Raiders. Sounds like he isn't guaranteed a starting job there, either. Not guaranteed a starting job AND you have to take less money? Doesn't sound like a good deal for Flynn to me.

He could be holding out hope that if he doesn't restructure he will be cut.

He keeps his money and he can go to any organization he wants.

What are the chances Flynn doesn't pass the physical?

Wait a sec, let me go ask the Raider's physicians who post on these boards

Please add something or don't comment at all. Thanks

If Flynn wants a chance to play, this could be his best shot.

Can't blame him if he doesn't want a pay cut or play for the Raiders...if he stays I expect he'll be a content backup.

The Raiders FO should be all over this even for a third round pick his contract isn't bad at all and he's a damn good insurance policy the dude can play. He's not a SB QB but you can make the playoffs with him last time i checked that's better than what there rolling with now. Pryor is a long shot imo. I haven't looked at there draft position but i'm luke warm on all the first round QB's. They should trade for Flynn and use those picks where they can hit a home run. Then pick up a QB in a draft that's better at that position.

I guarantee Flynn will be a very respectable starter in this league and he's ready to start this year.

Even with Flynn, the Raiders have an extremely good chance of being the worst team in the league next year.

Lost Wheeler, Bryant, Seymour, their WR


HMMMM

Raiders just swap second round picks with us next year

I just wanna say how proud I am that we made it to page 16 before any Flynn puns surfaced!
Because once it starts, it is highly....... Flynn-tagious

Well, I apologize to Davehawk, didn't mean to offend. Just letting him in on the gag.

On topic, am I high for assuming this trade is just a choice for Matt?

I didn't feel let in on the gag, I felt ridiculed by being called "sweetie". Came across condescending and rude.

It's ok sweetie. Being condescending is how we show our love for each other.

You should feel welcome, cupcake.

back on topic,
I'd be fine with having Flynn longer,
I remember watching him at LSU behind Jamarcus, when he finally got a chance, led us to a National Championship.
He's a more then capable QB. Any NFL team could be straightened out pretty quickly with him on the team. That is if their main problem was a QB. Like if he were to go to the Cards...they'd be dangerous. Or at least i think.

Why are some so freaked out by going commando without Flynn? The plan here has always been to develop and trade backups. Now with Flynn we didn't develop him, but if we can turn Flynn into two prospects, awesome.

There is probably going to be a day when we look back at the Flynn trade just like we look back at the Tapp trade. Those two picks for Flynn? I bet they already have a prospect or two in mind for the pick this year.

I wish this wasn't buried on page 14 where nobody will see it. Couldn't agree more.

What do you guys think are the chances we pick up TJ!?


in all seriousness? Less than zero. I think they like someone in the draft. Veteran back ups are far and few between right now. My call has been that they like Ryan Nassib.

True dat. You can't expect to win the lottery twice

Seriously. I would take the prospects of Flynn over what I've seen Kolb offer, any day.

Now now John dont you know you need at least 5k posts to get away with what the rest of the "veteran" posters do? How dare you add useless substance to a thread.... I mean 80 percent of the posters in the last 13 pages didnt or anything.
