According to Ian Rappaport the Raiders are releasing Flynn. Trying-out third stringers.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

That dude got a huge payday for looking good in 1 game. I think he made $16.5 mil between Oakland and Seattle.

Re: Raiders cutting Matt Flynn
at no cost we should bring him in. What happens if 1 of the current guys go down. Im in no way a fan of his, but we need to be proactiveComment

He should clear waivers without any issue. Unless Jacksonville wants to gamble.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
