    Its the Brady's inflated sense of entitlement that brought this about.
    It is insurance because of Brady's upcoming suspension. If you look a free agent QBs available the pickings are mighty slim:

      Flynn is a Brady insurance policy.

      Flynn will be in the NE camp. He will get cut on the last cut because NE doesn't want to have to guarantee his contract. They will let Jimmy Garoppolo play week 1 and if he flounders Flynn will be picked back up by NE. When Brady comes back from his suspension Flynn will be cut again.
      But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

        NFL players can only get one guaranteed contract per career. Flynn already used his in either Oakland or Seattle. So the "on the roster first game" doesn't apply to him.
        No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

          fucking really? I thought that applied to veterans universally, but I found an (old) article saying it's treated as a one-time 'separation pay'. It pre-dates the current CBA.

          Every year at this time, we begin to eyeball NFL rosters for veteran players who could be cut due to the reality that, if they are on any team as of Week One, their full base salaries become, as a practical matter, guaranteed.


          Anyone know if this changed?

            I don't think it changed. I read an article (I think ESPN) mentioning Flynn wasn't eligible relating specifically to the Patriots. I might be wrong with the source.

              Had to have been Oakland. Seattle traded him in the off season to Oakland. Oakland released him during the season.
