Former Packer Flynn Headed to Oakland

Matt Flynn's brief stint in Seattle is officially over. Jay Glazer tweeted Monday morning:

 

Flynn joined Seattle in anticipation of being their starting quarterback, but Pete Carroll went with Russell Wilson. After a successful first season by Wilson the idea that Seattle would look to move Flynn has been speculated about for days.

Flynn will rejoin former Packers executive Reggie McKenzie, who is now the GM in Oakland.

Update: Matt Flynn retiring. Rumour has it that he is miffed at Seattle for effectively handing his job to some younger guy during the last off-season. Might un-retire someday. Would consider playing for a true contender. Thinks the Arizona Cardinals would be the best fit for him.

This could possibly turn out to be an absolute steal for the Raiders. I'm glad he is going to get another chance at being a starting quarterback he deserves it. Of course I could be biased since Flynn is a former Packer and I like him because he didn't do anything stupid during his time with the team. But hey maybe if he bombs in Oakland we can get him back here again as a back up again.

Great for Flynn, Not Matt's fault Schneider's drafting superiority over the rest of the NFL past two yrs!
Wish him luck!
Hawks, 9ers and Falcons really making noise in the NFC this off season! guess we'll see how this all works out?
I don't blame Arod going for every million he can get, he's one concussion away from retirement, the way this OL protects--51 sacks, 2012!
No backup QB, bottom tier RB's, questionable OL, DL, OLB, ILB <injuries- safety positions, take Arod/Matthews out of this equation!! YIKES!!!!
Is there anyway someone can commit TT to a FA rehab center?
MM better pull rabbitsss out of his hat on draft day!!!!!!!!!!!!
VINCE, pray for us!
