The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms on a contract with former Packers quarterback Matt Flynn, the team announced Sunday.
The contract is for three years and $26 million with $10 million guaranteed, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Flynn agreed to a deal with Seattle after visiting both the Seahawks and the Miami Dolphins over the past week.
By choosing Seattle, Flynn also spurned his former offensive coordinator in Green Bay, Joe Philbin, who is now the Dolphins' head coach.
The 26-year-old backup to NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers started in one game last season and set Packers records with 480 yards passing and six touchdowns in a Week 17 victory over the Lions.
Rodgers sat out the game, which was meaningless to Green Bay since it already had wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
A seventh-round pick out of LSU in 2008, Flynn already had the attention of general managers around the league after he nearly beat New England last season while Rodgers was recovering from a concussion.
