He signed his big 2012 contract on the basis of 2 games. 2010 NE and 2011 Detroit. Now he's put up a big, come back win going into another free agency. Where's he going? Cleveland?
Houston? J-ville>? Minnesota?

Despite a good outing today, I don't think he will command a lot of interest honestly. The NFL (well most of these teams) has figured out Flynn is at times a decent system QB at GB.
But even at that, it was a tale of 2 halves. His passes still take way too long to get to the WR, he doesn't see the field well (our TE has been open constantly in several games now), and he he has nowhere near the arm that Tolzien does.
You can't "teach" arm. Either you have one or you don't. Now granted give him Randall Cobb and a high end draft pick at TE, I think Flynn is serviceable here. But the fools gold that he was at Seattle is already out of the bag. I cannot see an NFL team falling for that again
I wouldn't be surprized to see some NFL team give him a shot, but more likely a vets minimum type deal.
Hey isn't Favre a big Romo fan? Today I am too!
Nobody is going to pay Flynn to be their starter. That didn't work out already....and rightfully so because Flynn isn't good enough to be a starting quarterback in the NFL.
If Flynn is smart, and I think he is, he will take a modest contract from GB and be the Doug Pedersen for Aaron Rodgers. I believe he is the perfect backup in GB. He gets along well with the staff and players, he knows the system, he can perform at a decent level when called upon and he has a comfort level with the organization.
I have no clue what he earned on his next contract, but he sure earned whatever the hell the Packers have paid him.
I would hope he learned his lesson... Stay in GB, be a part of a winning team and a place where you have success.
what you all said already. he's Zeke, he's Pederson and that's what he's good at. but a regular 16 game starter? nah...
but THANKS for making the cowgirls cry, especially Bryant the petulant child, Mr. Matt Flynn. I'd buy you a Christmas present for that victory but you've already rec'd a golden goose.
He will be a career journeyman. Maybe a backup for a year or two, then will float from team to team as a #2 or #3 as injuries decimate a team. Never will be a starter, unless injury thrusts him into the spotlight during a season.
Good to see him lead this epic comeback in front of his family members from Tyler, Texas...
to answer the question, no. He was overpaid with the first seahawk contract
He's worth more to Green Bay than any other team in the league
He'd be smart to take whatever GB gives him... IF they offer him anything.
The problem with Flynn is not arm strength, it is that he is slow to decide/commit to a throw, that is why his throws are behind the WR. They are late, not weak.
I remember when a Jason Garrett lead Cowboy team knocked off the Packers years back in Texas... that loss pissed me off. It took a long time, but revenge of having our backup quarterback knock off the same team is sweet, sweet payback.
One of the Packers beat reporters asked Garrett about that game. Garrett was surprised anyone remembered it. I think more than a few Packers fans and Cowboys fans will remember yesterday's game.
Flynn fits in the GB system and that's about it. If he couldn't make it in Buffalo or with Oakland, he's not going to be offered a chance to start. If Flynn is smart, he will willingly sign with GB as a backup if offered the chance. Then, TT and MM put their heads together and determine if Tolzien is worth a No. 3 spot. If not, draft a QB to groom. Done.
