Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Flynn could earn between $19.5 and $24 million from his three-year contract with the team, or $26 million if he performs at a top-quarterback level. However, chances are he'll play two years of the deal and then the Seahawks will make their decision for the future on him. Flynn's minimum over two years is $13.25 million, a league source said, with that number rising to $15.5 million over two years if he starts in 2012, and $16 million if he starts and the Seahawks make the playoffs. Essentially, Flynn will make between $6.63 million and $8 million a year, depending on whether he beats out QB Tarvaris Jackson for the starting job and how well he plays. | ||
