The Dolphins were believed to have the inside track on signing Matt Flynn, but the quarterback ended up signing with the Seahawks. Flynn played under new Miami coach Joe Philbin in Green Bay, where he was the offensive coordinator. Owner Stephen Ross had a conversation with a season ticket holder to explain the team's offseason. "[Ross] goes, 'If my coach wanted Matt Flynn, didn't you think he would be here?'" Jason Lawrence said. "'If my coach said, 'I want Matt Flynn as our starting quarterback next year,' he would be here, but I couldn't pay Matt Flynn $8 million to come here. If I end up getting him, it's a gamble ... and I'm still drafting a quarterback. I'm still looking for another option.'"
