[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 435101, member: 2232"] Ye of such little faith in Ted. Come on. [SIZE=6]The tag & trade is looking like a real possibility[/SIZE]! A front-office executive for an NFL team said the league doesn’t discourage tag-and-trade strongly enough to prevent the Packers from doing it with Flynn if they think it’s their best move. Another NFL scout said he thinks some team will trade a decent draft pick and pay Flynn a good enough contract to swing the deal, even though the quarterback has started only two NFL games. “I definitely think he’s going to get paid; he’s going to get paid like a franchise guy,” the scout said. “He’s had two really good bodies of work (i.e., games) when he’s been called on, against good teams.” The Packers have until March 5 to decide whether to designate Flynn their franchise player, and Thompson and his top scouts no doubt are talking with teams at the NFL scouting combine this week to gauge interest The team to watch closest in the pursuit of Flynn is the [B][COLOR=#33cccc]Miami Dolphins[/COLOR][/B], whose new coach is former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. Unlike the other teams, the Dolphins can judge Flynn on more than two regular-season games. “The guy (Flynn) did an awesome job, but (two games) is a small body of work to look at,” the scout said. “A guy like Philbin, having seen him every day in practice, he’d have a better gauge of what he thinks (Flynn) really is as opposed to everyone else looking at game film. Philbin was there looking at him every day in practice, going to quarterback school with him.” If the Packers tag Flynn and he doesn’t agree to a contract with a trade partner, the Packers would be on the hook for the $14.4 million. But the Packers might be working with Flynn’s agent to see if the quarterback will agree to a contract with a new team before the March 5 tag deadline.
