[QUOTE="Bagadeez04, post: 429736, member: 2104"] I don't know man, I was one who thought no way this "tag and trade" of Flynn happens...but this "developement" has me intrigued. If indeed the Packers were to sign Finley, "if", there are only two logical reasons I can think of that they do so as opposed to franchising him (which would be the more prudent move). One: they want to use the tag on Wells and keep him around another year. His franchise money wouldn't be bad. But he's only 31, so I would think he has a few good years left and would be a candidate for an extention. Two: they want to get something for Flynn. [URL='https://twitter.com/#!/evansilva/status/154199744284073984']I don't think there's any doubt [/URL]that there are [URL='http://kansascity.sbnation.com/2012/1/3/2678989/matt-flynn-trade-for-packers-could-bring-more-return-than-matt-cassel']teams out there [/URL]that would give up something to have exclusive negotiating rights with Flynn, before he hits the FA market. The question is what would teams give up for that? That, I think, is anyone's guess, but team's like the Seahawks (Shneider), Browns (Holmgen) and Dolphins (Philbin) (are there more I can't think of?) who have a need at QB and a connection to Green Bay seem like a possibility. The thing here IMO is why would the Packers not make the most logical move here...which is to franchise Finley and give him another year to see if he can live up to expectations, and then make a decision on him long term. Whatever your opinion it's interesting stuff. [/QUOTE]
