Did we let Flynn get away without any compensation for him?
"Where have you been, Rick? ...
We’ve detailed the circumstances surrounding Matt Flynn’s departure for the past several months.
It was impossible for the Packers to secure immediate compensation for Flynn without taking a huge risk by putting the franchise tag on him, and after seeing how long it took for him to sign with a team and the contract he got from the Seahawks, I’m absolutely convinced the Packers did the right thing by not franchising him.
The risk far outweighed the gain; obviously, the Packers knew that. I missed the boat on Flynn.
I thought he would be a break-the-bank signing, but he barely got Rob Johnson money 14 years after Johnson was traded for a one and a four, and Johnson only had one game behind him." Vic Ketchman

vs. Matt Flynn this year might be one of the games to watch. What do you think?
"It’ll be a very high-profile game for Packers fans.
Whether or not it’s a game of national interest will depend on where it fits on the schedule and how Matt Flynn is performing when the two teams meet." Vic Ketchman

Now that Seattle signed Flynn … did we by any chance put a first-round tender on him like the Steelers did with Mike Wallace?
"Again, Matt Flynn was an unrestricted free agent, Wallace is a restricted free agent.
You can’t tender a UFA as you can an RFA; all you can do is tag them.
About the only way the Packers could’ve gotten maximum compensation out of Flynn was by trading him prior to last season’s trade deadline, but would that compensation have been worth the risk of not having a backup ready to play on a defending Super Bowl champion?
Based on what happened in free agency, I have to believe the Packers wouldn’t have gotten better than a second-round pick.
Considering all that’s happened, I think the Packers played their cards perfectly; they got maximum performance protection from Flynn and they will likely receive a significant compensatory pick for having lost him in free agency." Vic Ketchman
