PrintGreen Bay Packers news | Rodgers sees Flynn with Dolphins or Seahawks, wants Clements promoted | Green Bay Press Gazette. I don't think there's any big revelations here from Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. I think the Dolphins and Seahawks make the most sense for Matt Flynn, but we don't really know how strong their interest will be.
In the past, I didn't think his public comments had much effect on the team's decisions. But after he spoke out publicly in support of re-signing James Jones last summer, Jones ended up back with the Packers. Now I think his opinion has some pull with the organization, certainly more than an average player. So his support of Tom Clements will certainly play some role as to whether he becomes the offensive coordinator.
Gregg Rosenthal thought these comments on Flynn rose to the level of tampering, but I would think the comments would have to come from the Dolphins or the Seahawks themselves.

LOL Gregg Rosenthal
I’d love to see an explanation as to how Aaron’s comments about Matt Flynn amount to tampering.
Looks like a qualification for sportswriters/talking heads now is to say outrageous things to draw attention and create a story.
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!
Right?
That’s just one players opinion who is doing a good job of connecting the dots. Point 1, the Dolphins need a new QB. Point 2, Matt Flynn, former Green Bay backup, is on the market. Point 3, he is a better QB than any one else currently on your roster. Point 4, your new head coach was Flynn’s offensive coordinator for the past 4 years. How is voicing your opinion of your former backup, now a free agent, tampering?
It would be one thing if Flynn was not a free agent, and his season wasn’t over, because then it could be tampering. If anything, this talk about who will sign Manning if he gets released is closer to being tampering. Even then it would require teams contacting Manning about signing with their club if he gets released, at least that’s how I understand tampering as used in the sports field.
Seasons over, but Flynn still under contract.
That in itself can be interpretted as tampering. Don’t disagree w/ you, but gotta understand that he’s still under contract till the league year ends.
