The Oakland Raiders are expected to soon finalize their acquisition of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn.

It was reported late last week that Oakland was close to landing the veteran in a trade.

The two teams have haggled over draft-pick compensation.

The "imminent" trade involving Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn appears to be with the Oakland Raiders.

Carson Palmer will be cut by the Raiders once the acquisition is complete.

The Seahawks are deep in talks with Raiders on a Flynn trade, according to sources.

The Oakland Raiders appear to be getting more and more interested in Matt Flynn.

It has been reported that the Raiders have "legitimate interest" in acquiring the quarterback from the Seattle Seahawks.

Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie worked for years in Green Bay, where Flynn started his career as Aaron Rodgers' backup.

The Seattle Seahawks have put Matt Flynn on the trade market and they reportedly have interest from as many as three teams.

The Jaguars, Bills and Raiders have been linked to Flynn, but they also have top-10 draft picks with an eye on a quarterback.

That means Seattle is unlikely to find a trade partner until after the first day of next month's NFL Draft, when the trio of teams could fill their vacancy with a rookie.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders are expressing interest in Matt Flynn.

The Seattle Seahawks signed Flynn last offseason, but rookie Russell Wilson emerged as the unquestioned starter. Seattle has expressed a willingness to keep Flynn as a backup next season despite his large contract, but getting something valuable in return could persuade them.

Cliff Avril has agreed to a deal with the Seattle Seahawks.

Avril is a pass rushing specialist at defensive end.

Avril was a third round pick in 2008 by the Lions out of Purdue.

The Minnesota Vikings finally traded Percy Harvin on Monday.

The impetus to the trade was Harvin's criticism of quarterback Christian Ponder, according to sources.

Harvin was always one of Ponder's favorite targets.

Harvin also was seeking a new contract that paid him nearly as much as top receivers such as Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald.

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a trade for Percy Harvin from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for draft picks.

The deal is complete pending Harvin passing a physical.

Harvin was limited to nine games in 2012, catching 62 balls for 677 yards.

The Seahawks will send their first and seventh round pick this year, as well as a mid-round pick next year.

Darren Fells has signed a three-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks.

Fells never played college football and is a converted basketball player. Fells played professionally in Argentina.
