Flynn Trade Unlikely Until After First Day Of Draft

Oct 13, 2014 4:06 AM

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.
