The Seattle Seahawks agreed to multiyear contract with Matt Flynn, who was regarded as the National Football League’s top free-agent quarterback this offseason until the Indianapolis Colts cut Peyton Manning.
Flynn, 26, spent the past four seasons as a backup for the Green Bay Packers, playing behind NFL Most Valuable Player Aaron Rodgers. Before signing with the Seahawks last night, Flynn met with the Dolphins in Miami, where former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin is now the head coach. Flynn’s contract is worth $26 million over three years, with $10 million guaranteed, according to NFL.com.
