Sometimes your plans change. This move is 100% to save the coaches jobs and it’s pretty obvious. Marrone can’t afford to have rookie games like the one Minshew had EVEN if those bad rookie games will help Minshew in the future.


Two huge differences...

1. Wilson was a 3rd round pick... not a 6th round pick.

2. Flynn was paid a minimal veteran contract worth $870,000. Foles is being paid $88 mil including $50 mil guaranteed.

No, Flynn was making a hell of a lot more than that..

"The Seahawks reached agreement Sunday with [font=Georgia,]Matt Flynn on a three-year deal, bringing one of the most wanted -- yet unproven -- free agents to the Pacific Northwest to try and solidify Seattle's QB position.[/font]

The contract is worth $26 million with $10 million guaranteed, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter."

Seahawks ended up paying him $14.5m in total for basically nothing.
