Flynn will not receive Packers franchise tag

[regency]

why would they want to franchise tag a backup quarterback?

Because he is a hot commodity worth possible trade value but to franchise him is risky for them, now he can just walk and they get nothing.

If the Packers were to franchise tag Flynn, he would probably sign the offer sheet before the ink was dry. 14 mil guaranteed just to hang around for one more season. Way too big of a gamble for the Pack to try to get what would probably amount to a 2nd rd pick. Heck, they will probably get a 3rd rd compensatory pick anyway.

I think its a no brainer that Flynn lands here. Does anyone really doubt that is going to happen?

There are a LOT of 'no brainers' that have surprised us before. Am I wrong?

i thought i heard somewhere that finley would get a wr franchise tag because he lined up wide x amount of %. which would be a heckuva lot higher than the te tag.

after seeing your sig, i am all for ryan tannehill coming here. as long as he shares his fiance with dolphin fans:hump::hump:

If flynn comes it better be to compete with moore. I wouldnt throw 50 million at that guy for anything.

Hopefully the team has learned their lesson anointing a starting QB before the season even begins. Last time that backfired.

Flynn won't be competing with anyone. If he's signed then he's the starter.

Most fans want Manning but Philbin has to go with the QB he is comfortable with and wants to start his HC career with.

Flynn all day. Manning is done and everyone knows it. Even if Manning comes back the risk is too high. I am confident Philbin is the coach to lead us in the right direction.

Sweet Jeebus..... That's enough of a reason to draft Tannehill as it is. Goddamn, she's fine.
