What can we get for Matt Flynn?

[VancitySeahawk]

I am guessing a 4th or 5th rounder.

There are a lot of teams who need a QB. The draft is thin on QBs and I am not sure what is out there in the FA market other than Michael Vick.

In the trade market there is Alex Smith.

Something less than we gave up for Charlie Whitehurst.

Smith should be a team's first option and Flynn thereafter. IMO, there's not a QB in this draft as good as either. Further, IMO, there's not a QB in this class that will ever be. With that said, it's a sellers market right now and I am confident Schnieder will get us max value for him...should we choose to move him. The poster above insinuates Flynn will bring less than CBJ. I would take that bet in a second. Let's not forget, just as guys make huge errors over pretty women, teams do the same with QBs. I offer you the Oakland Raiders and Carson Palmer as evidence.

Am I the only one that is ecstatic that we have a good backup QB? The way Russell plays puts him in the line of fire and we need a decent backup.

I hear he likes pink furry slippers, but I'm curious as to why you'd want to get him anything.

No you're not; one bad hit and Russell could be out of commission, what then? Keep Flynn!

I agree it's a nice luxury but we also need a decent pass rush. Decent pass rush is more than a luxury, its a necessity. Matt Ryan was not touched today. The extra pick or picks we could get could be greatly needed. If there are no takers, keep our excellent backup. If someone gives a solid offer, take it.

I think if most people answered honestly, almost all would say they are extremely happy to have a player like Flynn as a backup. It's the contract that he has which raises questions to rather his value as a backup is worth keeping him and then, secondary, what picks can we get even if we wanted to trade him.

I've seen a few conflicting numbers on what his actual Cap hit would be if he does stay with the team, so I'm still waiting on the actual figures before I lean one way or the other.
