Obviously, the season didn't go in his favor and I doubt Seattle will continue to pay him that salary just to ride the bench. So, I'm curious to see which team y'all think they will trade him to.

I would sit on the bench and cash large paychecks.

Although he isn't making absurd money, he is still getting paid more than probably any back-up and a few starters. Seattle can't afford to keep him on the bench. He will get traded or released unless he has a large guarantee yet to be paid.

For him to sign a large contract and lose the job to a rookie doesn't help his case very much. He may get a look somewhere but his days are numbered unfortunately. There are a few teams with needs who could use him but he is a 5th year backup with little game time exposure. Not many guys last this long as a backup without having started at least a little bit somewhere. Whoever has a need will likely draft a QB or trade for a potential starter. I doubt anyone sees him as that guy.

I would ride the pine and collect a big paycheck before I went to that mess known as the New York Jets.

The one good thing for Flynn to come out of this season is how great Wilson did.

Had Wilson struggled all year, it would've sent a message that Flynn was a flop. Instead, it just looks like it's possible that Flynn is still a good QB who had the dumb bad luck of landing with a team with a guy who may well end up All-Pro.

This is pretty dumb. Seattle hired him a year ago with the big payday to be "The Guy". Wilson put on all-pro performance. Think there should be plenty interest in Flynn.

the vikings, the vikings, the vikings, please god let him go to the vikings.

(ftr after losing the job to a rookie - regardless of how good he turned out to be be - i doubt anyone will pick up his contract so I assume he'll be cut outright)

Jets!! They wouldn't have to draft a QB and have what i believe a solid backup in McElroy.

Somewhere like Minnesota would be great, back in his old division.

I hope not the Jets. The one team that comes to mind for me is Arizona. Terrible QBs, all pro wr, plus a rapidly improving d.

New Orleans could use a good back up

This is an intriguing consideration...

Oh come on Griswold!?

Carrol didn't want Flynn, Flynn was hurt most of the preseason, and its not like Russel Wilson played like a slouch this season.

Given the state of QB's in the league right now, and the lack there of in this years draft, I'm willing to bet a few GM's are on the phone with Seattle in the coming months.
