I don't see the connection. Flynn has a much bigger contract and Seattle were keen to get rid of it. On the other hand, Patriots are in no rush to offload Mallett and will only take a highish pick to move him.
True but he has proven more than Mallett and I think his contract is about 5M for 2013.
They wanted to get rid of him, sure, but why would Cleveland pay the #6 pick when they could have gotten Flynn for a couple of low round picks? Worlds different in price.
It would all depend on whether Lombardi really did like Mallett as much as he said - and whether he could convince other decision makers. FWIW, I don't think Mallett's getting traded now as there's no-one to plug in with experience of the system (unless Hoyer gets released).
This is a great deal by the Raiders though. a 5th rounder in 2014 and maybe a late rounder in 2015. What's to lose?
