The market for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn could finally be heating up after remaining lukewarm so far this offseason.

According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the most likely destination for the Seahawks backup quarterback to end up if he’s traded this offseason. The Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills are also expressing interest.

If we could send Flynn to jacksonville and flip 2nd round picks with them that would be ideal.

Having first pick in the 2nd round is either a great way to get somebody who slipped out of the first round, or maybe even better is a nice trade chip. All those teams who didnt fill all their needs in the first round have a night to think about who's left over and try to move up and get their guy. We could probably turn that in to 3 or 4 more picks if we were so inclined.

In light of the new information here, and to prevent another dozen threads from popping up on this subject, let's continue this Flynn discussion here.

Yeah, my bad, I didn't read through the Raiders/Flynn thread first. :oops:

That's so my thinking, all of it. And I'd be euphoric if that happened in any combination. Getting in the position of taking the first pick of the second round would be awesome, and the power of trade to move it for even more loot would be fantastic.

Of course, it's all conjecture right now, but PC/JS, if you're reading this, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

I'd be good with that, but I don't see any point in trading away the 33rd for more picks. Either grab an impact player, or trade it for a 2014 1st... of a team that will likely finish 6-10 or worse.

I rarely make crazy outlandish predictions but I'm going to stand by my post I made awhile back.

Schneider is going to surprise the hell out of us and somehow squeeze a 1st rounder out of one of those teams on draft day.

If we traded that pick away, assuming we traded for it in the first place, the best case scenario I see is trading it for future years' picks. We're oh-so-close right now, and while arguably a couple of rookies could make a difference (a la last year), it's easy enough to argue they wouldn't. Next year, when we're trying to either repeat or improve on this year's season, it would be very nice to have some extra ammo in the hatch for the draft. And because putting those draft picks off a year, they're a lot cheaper, and we really end up with more bang for the same buck.

All three of those teams pick in the top 8. "Crazy" and "Outlandish" are understatements about a prediction like that.

all 3 of them have terrible management, and are desperate. Hey I don't think it'll happen either, but Schneider is a wizard, and I can hope.

Throw Flynn and a pick in the mix and it's not really that crazy. What's the difference between our second rounder and their first? Is Flynn worth that, especially to a team in dire need of a quarterback?

The 25th pick of the 2nd round compared to their top 8 pick. That's a HUGE difference.

My avatar aside (to this day, I still think it was a worthy gamble), that trade isn't going to be used as a barometer by other teams for what they should do.

That would mean Flynn is mid-first rounder value. Throw in a lil' sumtin' sumtin' to drop him to about the second round and it might not be too hard to imagine.

Atlanta traded two firsts, a second and a fourth to move up from 25th to sixth in the 2011 draft.
