[QUOTE="PWT36, post: 64555, member: 170"] Depack-The money that Houston Oilers paid Mike Flanagan was very nice last contract before retirement. I believe Packers GM Ted Thompson thought the contract that Houston Texans gave Flanagan was over the market value of Mike Flanagan , a 33 old veteran center going into his 11 year in NFL with history of past injuries. As Ted Thompson is known for not signing players he thinks are asking over market value for their services. Mike Flanagan was drafted 3a in 1996 out of UCLA He was on IR for 1996 & 1997 and played in 2 games in 1998. The Green Bay Packer stuck with him for those three years and Mike Flanagan rewarded the Packer for the long wait by becoming a excellent center. In 1999 took over the center postion ( played 15 games )from Center Jeff Dellenbach and was Packer center. Played all 16 games in 2000,2001,2002,2003, and was injured during 2004 and returned in '05 and played in pain most of season because he felt the troubled Packer O line needed him. Every Packer fan should thank Mike Flanagan for his great service to the Green Bay Packers and wish him good luck with the Houston Texans. I am sure Mike Flanagan understands this was business decison by the Packers (just as he made a business decison) made in this era of Free agency and Salary cap, and this has happened many times with all NFL franchises. I know Mike Flanagan appreciated that The Packers stood behind him in those first two years in 1996 & 1997 when he was on IR, and has said so publically. [/QUOTE]
