Colt McCoy signs with the Redskins.

Sounds like Kirk Cousins future there may be in doubt. If the Packers don't sign Flynn maybe add Cousins to the list of possible Packer backups?
Why would the Redskins get rid of Cousins in favor of McCoy? Cousins is 1000% better than McCoy, who I'm surprised is still able to find work in the NFL honestly. McCoy is a veteran and a camp body at this point.
Agreed, unless the Redskins get a decent trade offer for Cousins. I have heard some speculation that they think/hope he has some solid trade value.
Cousins is very solid. I will guess they hold on to him until at least this coming season to see how RG3 develops.
There was talk that a 2nd or 3rd for Cousins should be well within reach, but that WAS thought they could land a first. Either way, I don't think I'd send him anywhere just yet until RG3 shows a complete recovery.
It's a shame because Cousins could actually be a solid QB IMO. He's not a game changer, but I think he could make a difference for a lot of teams. Jay Gruden has shown he can get some good results out of a moderately talented QB (see Andy Dalton), so I think he could really make Cousins into a good QB. Washington has some pieces, the only thing holding them back ironically is their QB. RG3 is a good passer and a talented player and maybe it was Mike Shannahan that was the problem, but I don't get the sense he's a guy who commands respect like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. Not everyone likes Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady I'm sure, but those guys command a lot of respect because of how they perform and how they conduct themselves. It doesn't matter if it's within their own teams or around the league people recognize them as a franchise QB. I don't think RG3 is a bad guy or a punk, but I don't get the sense that many people, even in Washington, view him as a franchise QB.

Because Daniel Snyder doesn't know what he's doing?
Start with a stud LT and Center and build from there around a young QB worked okay for Bradley's former team.
Sounds like Matt Flynn may work out for the Giants. I'm surprised GB hasn't signed him yet but maybe TT has another plan. Josh Freeman is an option too but Flynn know the offense so well. I'm hoping we have a #2 this season with more skill and experience than last season.

Yeah, but is it a good plan? Not TT's best work last year, his handling of the back up QB position.
Not bringing Flynn back would be a mistake.
Will Tolzien benefit from an entire offseason being with the Packers?
Could be that Thompson has offered Flynn a deal. Something like 1 year at slightly above vet minimum - for his years in the league that's about $750k. I read last week that Flynn was probably wanting a 2 year deal averaging $1.25mm. Does Flynn have more than vet minimum value for anyone other than the Packers?

Unlikely! In fact, he is likely to regress.
How many offseasons has AJ Hawk spent in GB, and look what it's done for him.

Which in turn would set him up nicely to be the starting QB for the in 2015.
I think Flynn may have an offer from the Packers in his back pocket. He has not signed it becouse he is waiting to see what else another team may offer. Perhaps a chance to start maybe more money. This next contract may well be the last he gets.
Flynn could be AR's Zeke for the rest of his career if he knew what was good for him. 
Unlike with Yah Doug Pederson, at least Flynn gives GB a puncher's chance to win. Pederson was absolutely awful. Flynn could be the new Steve Bono.
Pederson started more games (17) in his career than Flynn has.
Of course, his career QBR is a stellar 62.3

I really don't see Flynn going anywhere. That ship has come and gone for him. His home is GB and he and everyone else knows it.
Flynn needs to stick with MM and Rodgers if he hopes to pull a Rich Gannon of any sorts.
After last year, I can't see what any other team would see in Flynn other than he is a fit for MM's system and that's about it. Harsh reality may slap him upside the head and he'll realize GB is his fit and resign. If not, I can see TT taking a flyer on a QB in the late, late rounds to join Tolzien for this year or signing another team's cut. Another year in the system should help Tolzien a lot, and I'll be disappointed if he crashes again.
fwiw, which ain't much
http://profootballtalk.nbcspor...ker-terrell-manning/
Per the league’s transaction wire, the Chargers waived linebacker Terrell Manning Monday.
They had claimed him off waivers from the Packers last summer, but he played in just one game for the Chargers last season.
HUGE NEWS Tdog!!
Honestly, I like seeing where these guys go & if they stay in the league.
Baalke of the 49'ers supposedly "threw his pen down" when TT drafted Manning just a few slots in front of the Niners. 5th round I believe.
Still ain't worth much
antooo - can we sign that guy, thing, whatever it is, to play LB? Our defense would tighen up over night.
Flynn tries out fot the Giants today - along with Josh Freeman. The difference between this stop and the others is that a former Packer coach is the OC. A guy who knows Flynn. So if it is even close between Freeman and Flynn, he would probably go with Flynn.
Freeman: good arm, poor brain
Flynn: poor arm, good brain
Scarecrow or Lion?
So what your saying is transplant Flynn's brian in Freeman and you would have the ideal backup? Medical science could make that happen today.
Flynn just signed with GB. We can all step off the ledge now.
Sounds like it.
@MikeGarafolo: Matt Flynn headed back to the Packers, source confirms. That's why his expected workout with the Giants never materialized

At least Flynn can get us through part of a game or keep us competitive. He's also essentially another QB coach given his knowledge of the offense.
