What does number of games have to do with it? 2 teams are going to draft Luck and RG3 who have zero NFL starts between them.
Seattle gave up 3rd and 4th (basically) for Whitehurst who had zero starts.
Wolf gave up a mid 1st for a sophmore QB with zero starts.
I don't think there is any relation to how high a pick is traded with how much do we have to pay him.
Of course Flynn will play ball. Not that he needs to. But if a team is going to pay him $15m guaranteed; get a big chunk of that now; and have the opportunity to start - why wouldn't he sign? As opposed to waiting till mid September for a $830k check. And I didn't even get into the being grateful for the Packers for developing him and giving him the opportunity to showcase his talents in that final game.
And please explain where there is even an iota of risk involved? They can always cut him. You think there isn't a team that will give up a minimum of a 2nd for him? Even a third (which is better than compensatory pick)? Thats absolutely crazy. I expect us to get at worst the Seattle's 2nd round pick.
I think you need to study this a little more. There is risk if The Packers tag Flynn.
