The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... The Jaguars explored the possibility of acquiring Flynn but ultimately decided not to pursue a trade for the Seahawks' backup quarterback.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Flynn and the Jaguars were linked in a CBSSports report earlier this week as “the most likely destination.” Because new Jaguars coach Gus Bradley was formerly Seattle’s DC and the Jaguars’ QB spot has been declared an open competition, the obligatory dots were connected. A source told Times-Union staffer Ryan O'Halloran the Jaguars did their “due diligence,” regarding Flynn. Flynn would have made sense in the fact he would have challenged Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne, guaranteeing a spirited training camp competition. But the move would have been questionable since the Jaguars are committed to building through the draft and Flynn’s contract carries salary cap numbers of $7.25 million this year and $8.25 million in 2014. Flynn has less playing experience than Gabbert and Henne. Flynn turns 28 on June 20 and has started only two games – one apiece with Green Bay in 2010 and 2011. Henne and Gabbert have 37 and 24 starts, respectively.
