Matt Flynn released by Raiders.
Recall he got hurt in the preseason last year with Seattle. That got Wilson more playing time in preseason and reps in training camps, and started the season as Flynn wasn't 100% still.
But because he didn't get any action/chance to struggle last year, he got suitors and traded to OAK and got more guaranteed money. If he played in Seattle and played like junk he'd not have gotten a that money from Oakland. So he's pocked millions of dollars ($7+) from that one game at the end of 2011, with playing one game and a handful of snaps.
If he was healthy, Seattle wouldn't have gotten the full effect of R Wilson last year, as his development would've been, at best, delayed by a few weeks even if Flynn struggled, and the team as a whole may not have gone on the run it did the last 2/3 or so of the season.
Hoping the Jets can hang on, but doubt it.
