5 Mil per year is about right but does anyone think we will sign him at that price?

He's gonna get more than that. Seattle is desperate. The only thing that might drive the price down is that Manning looks likely to go to SF right now and they will be all over Alex Smith.
Flynn is such a no brainer. You pay the guy whatever it takes. Your offense instantly becomes relevant. The question is how long of a deal. If you believe he is the long term answer you go 5 to 6 years. If he is a stop gap and you are going to draft the future you go 4 or less. I think Flynn would take a short term deal - even 1 year in Miami because he could create a big time salary demand with a good year in a system he knows inside and out. The risk for Miami is that would be very costly to keep him if he performs.

I'm actually thrilled at how well this is working out for us. The Manning thing is the BEST thing that could have happened to this franchise. It looks like Manning is going to SF now, which means that Seattle is going to hold off on Flynn and see if they can pick up Alex Smith.
Remember right after we hired Joe Philbin and everyone was concerned there would be an outrageous bidding war for Flynn's services? That Green Bay might even franchise tag him and demand a first round pick in trade? Now it looks like we're going to be able to get the guy we've been targeting all along for cheap.
That leaves us with money to sign Anderson or Winston. Maybe both if Winston's price continues to plummet.
Let the national media talk about how great the Bills are for signing Mario Williams and Ryan Fitzpatrick to bank breaking contracts, and conveniently ignore the laughable contract extension the Jets gave Sanchez. Let them trash us... as we make out like bandits.
