Packers may want to trade Matt Flynn

[AllYouNeedIsLovie 377]

According to Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press Gazette, the Packers’ front office could be thinking about trading backup quarterback Matt Flynn if and when player movement is no longer restricted by the NFL lockout. Flynn performed well in the absence of Aaron Rodgers last season, which certainly elevated his value. But with the concussion issues surrounding Rodgers, would trading his insurance policy be a good move? If the Packers do decide to move Matt Flynn, it would signal that they are confident in two things: Rodgers’ ability to stay on the field and current third-string quarterback Graham Harrell’s ability to play in the NFL. Harrell was a prolific passer at Texas Tech, but the knock on him was that his statistics were elevated by the system he played in, it remains to be seen if his skills will translate to the NFL.

When teams have a franchise QB for years to come, they should trade any decent backup they have. Why? Because it's stupid not to. Teams are willing to overpay for players like Matt Flynn.

Amen. I love Matt. He is a great team mate, a good QB, and he has been able to see and learn a lot behind Aaron. It's time for him to move on and I 120% will be rooting for him where ever he ends up. And I definitely want to take another QB in the draft this year to groom and eventually trade. It's what we did with Favre, and what we should do now. Plus... If we don't trade him, he is gonna leave next season when he is a FA.

 

Just makes too much sense.
