Rumor - Matt Flynn trade imminent

[Mistashoesta]

Jamarcus Russell could play backup QB and long snapper! Heck hypnotize him to think the football is a giant cheese burger and he'd probably make a great DT too. On a serious note the kid might actually learn something from Wilson.

I'd rather have Chandler Harnish than Jamarcus.

I predict we come away with Oakland's 2nd.

One way or another.

Raiders don't have a 2nd.

Wow. That cracked me up.

:lol:

 

[TDOTSEAHAWK]

Love the move. We get value for a costly and superfluous piece.

This is a guy who has played 2 NFL games and if he actually had to play for an extended period of time next year - I would be hard pressed to think that we would make a serious run at the Super Bowl - so honestly who cares if we lose him as it is Super Bowl or bust for me every season for at least the next 4.

Let's bring young guys who better fit the mold of what we want in a QB to compete for the back-up position and won't cost us 8-9 million dollars.

Moreover, if we could do the previous and get a pick or two while extending some key players rather than waiting to cut Flynn next offseason (which was inevitable)- R E S P E C K.

What the hell were they thinking with that green alternative uni?

I guess because nothing says "you just hit rock bottom" like the ugliest uniforms in the NFL.

Did you mean to say "greatest uniforms in NFL history"?

Fixed.

At this point I don't even care if we keep or trade him.

Lets just win the god damned super bowl.

Meh. I'd rather win the Superb Owl. Sounds much more prestigious.

The Seahawks wore that lime green Jersey against Chicago in the "damn you Olindo Mare for going 4/6!" game. It was retired by Mora immediately (perhaps the only rational move he made while here). It would never come out of the closet ever again.

Mora's stare.

Green jersey's.

#4 overall pick at linebacker.

Game's over in the fourth quarter...

Let us never speak of this so called '2009 season' ever again.

Looks like a couple people that seem to be pretty knowledgeable are guessing a 6th this year and a conditional 4th or 5th next season. If it ends up being something similar to that I am happy.

While it would be great to have a starting caliber QB to backup Wilson if trading him means we can pick up someone else to make the team better this year and/or allows us to lockup Kam I think it is a win. Sure there is a risk wilson gets hurt and whoever we get to back him up isn't as good as Flynn but there is also a risk that if we keep flynn we might not be able to upgrade another position or resign Kam.

Why spend 7 million on a backup that if the season goes well never sees the field at an important time when we can use that money elsewhere.

Plus knowing our FO they will probably turn those 2 picks into a future star RT and WILL.

I've heard that it's swapping 3rds this year (difference equates to a late 4th rounder), plus a conditional 5th/4th next year.

From the sounds of it, the Seahawks seem content however this turns out. If Flynn can't renegotiate, oh well, he's back and MAYBE someone else makes a play. The Hawks get to keep their reputation for doing right by their players: ie affording Flynn a chance to start.

I love they made an effort to get him what he wants. Just like I loved how they gave TJack some cred via trade instead of release.

Ok, so... the Seahawks have done this player right - but, after all that, it really IS about the money after all: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000 ... -staredown

If Matt Flynn's contract pays him just a bit more than Matt Hasselbeck this season to be a backup... the Seahawks truly are in a good position as you say. I'm indifferent at this point. Flynn needs to decide if he is confident enough in his ability to win the job in Oakland vs. Pryor and any from the rookie group. If the trade goes down, perhaps the Raiders are less likely to take a QB with their limited picks anyway. Still, the chances of another Russell Wilson beating him out in camp are slim to none. With his relationship with the GM there... if this trade gets nixed by Flynn, it really is more about the money than a chance to start.

Yeah, it's really too bad that the greatest uniforms in NFL history have to be tainted by that unfortunate scenario.

Oh and of course, the frantic meltdowns over at fieldgulls.

In a way, the lime green jerseys were perfect for that team. Dysfunctional, ugly, and short-lived.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

How could we go from such bleak despair to confident optimism in just three seasons? Amazing what Carroll and Schneider have done.

 

[Blitzer88]

I think imminent was the wrong word for Werner to use.........more like "Flynn trade moving at a snails pace."

I would be quite happy with that compensation for Flynn.

You are kidding right? Flynn wasn't done right or wrong here. He was signed then put on the bench he owes us NOTHING. Furthermore why take a cut and then be a starting qb? He should not give in I would never. If anything I would say make it three years with more guaranteed same average......

Oakland is looking to send Palmer to Arizona and this is about their cap management and not Flynn's worth. Funny how players are greasy when the NFL owners are billionaires.

Those are amazing.
