JetNation Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 As we mentioned the other day, the Jets brought QB Matt Flynn in for a physical. It seems very likely that the Jets will bring in a veteran QB. At a minimum the veteran can take some reps during training camp and could serve as the early season backup, behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. This could all change if the Jets believe that Geno Smith could return on the shorter side of his 6 to 10 week timeline. Todd Bowles spoke about the quarterback situation today after practice. Bowles indicated that the Jets are looking at several options and they aren’t in a rush. He also commented that they could wait to see, “what shakes free.” Speaking about Matt Flynn specifically, Bowles had this to say “We haven’t ruled in or out anything yet. We’re still talking to him and we’ll see how it goes.” There was talk that the Jets are holding off on signing a veteran QB to get Bryce Petty more reps early in camp. Here is how Bowles answered that question: Yeah, you want him to get as many reps as he can. Like I said, he can’t get reps by holding a clipboard on the sideline, so its preseason. As long as his recognition gets better every week and he understands and he calms down a little bit, he’ll be fine. We knew it was a process, but he can’t play if he’s on the sideline.

AFJF Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 That was a realllllllly good game he had years ago. True story...won a lot of money on that game (I forget how much) but didn't think about GB possibly sitting Rodgers and I took the over. I'll always have a place in my heart for Flynn.

Jet Nut Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 A 480 yard, 6 TD game got him a $20.5 mil deal with $9 mil guaranteed. Not too shabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealeb319 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 A 480 yard, 6 TD game got him a $20.5 mil deal with $9 mil guaranteed. Not too shabby Especially considering he got beat out for the starter job and got to collect that money while keeping the bench warm for Wilson.

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Flynn would make the list of highest paid bench warmers but Haynesworth(less) will top that list for a while, most others were due to injuries; Palmer, Gilbert?, a few RB's. Raiders and Redskins free agents would fill out the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Rex Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Odd that he keeps getting released, but still has teams interested. He seems to be one of those guys that - at first glance - has talent but his deficiencies are quickly exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
