And if you're a GM who is hearing first hand from the HC you just hired that Flynn is a franchise QB, you may keep your draft picks and then lose out in a bidding war for Flynn's services. But that would be a crappy way to start your relationship with your new HC and you would risk losing "the answer" at the most important position in football, a guy who could help the HC teach the offense to the rest of team, for the price of a first or second round pick.   I'm certainly not predicting Thompson will do it, I'm just saying it's not outside the realm of possibility. Thompson may indeed be contemplating using the tag on Finley or Wells and he may think a third round comp pick is enough for Flynn. I'm not sure why you think there's a question of whether or not the Packers will receive any compensation for him. (IMO it's extremely unlikely the tag will be assigned and rescinded.) And BTW, paying Corey Williams $6.3M would have been a problem for Thompson: He didn't view Corey as a core player and paying him that much would have upset the salary structure on the DL at the time. But I'll bet your bottom dollar that was never at risk because they had an agreement Corey wouldn't sign it. </blockquote>
