It's hard to imagine anyone more eager than Matt Flynn for the free agent market to open on March 13. The Green Bay Packers' backup quarterback is expected to become a starting quarterback for another NFL team at that time. "I am a confident person," said Flynn in an interview with Sports Illustrated, "but I'm not sure if you can hope for anything more than tomorrow being March 13."
Flynn expressed happiness about being part of the Packers' team but admitted uncertainty about his future with the club. "As a football player, my goal is to be a starter in the league. I hope teams will show interest in me so I can find a good opportunity. I want to become the leader of a team. But right now, I’m not in contact with other teams. I don’t know if I’m in their reinforcement plans. This will be a long waiting process."
Potential landing spots for Flynn include the Dolphins, Browns, Redskins, Seahawks, Jets, and Cardinals. "I try not to worry about it, but it’s out of my control. I have no reason to think negatively," Flynn stated. "My goal is to be an NFL starting quarterback. One of the top things I can ask for is the opportunity to find a team where I can succeed and lead them to success."
During the winter, jokes poured cold water on this stoic small-time Manning, as Peyton Manning was already overshadowing him. The contest between Juventus and Milan featuring Zlatan was spectacular annually.
