Aaron Rodgers thinks his back up quarterback who beat a Green Bay Packers record by throwing 6 touchdown passes in one game might be headed to the Miami Dolphins.
“I think it’s a strong possibility that they [the Dolphins] would make a run at Matt Flynn,” Rodgers told ESPN Radio in Milwaukee, saying he had talked with his backup in the last few days.
“I think it kind of makes sense. Joe [Philbin] in that system, which I’m sure is going to be very similar to this system, and Matt having a great grasp of that and playing well in his recent opportunities. I think it would kind of make sense to bring Matt out there.”
In the same conversation Rodgers also mentioned the Seattle Seahawks, since Seattle’s general manager also knows Flynn from his time in Green Bay’s front office.
“John Schneider knows Matt and he’s pulling some strings up there with them,” Rodgers said. “I think that would be an opportunity for him up there. Those are probably, in my opinion, the two top dogs that would go after him.”
Matt Flynn made himself a ton of money with a standout performance including a Green Bay Packers’ record 6 touchdown and 480 yards passing. Flynn was drafted in the 7th round of the 2008 NFL Draft and is now a free agent moving into 2012. Unlikely to stay with the Packers, as no one will be replacing Aaron Rodgers anytime soon, the Dolphins and Seahawks are two strong candidates.
