This year’s pool of free agent quarterbacks in the NFL doesn’t exactly include a lot of splashy names.
Former LSU QB Matt Flynn just became a free agent himself at the official start of the league year on Wednesday, and he posted this on Twitter not long after Brock Osweiler agreed to a 4-year, $72 million deal with the Houston Texans that same day.
Wow I know I'm going to get killed for this and I don't have a lot of room to talk, but this latest QB contract is unbelievable…….. ?

Flynn, in his own right, has earned $19 million in his career, which spans a remarkable eight seasons and seven teams. As you can tell from the post, he knew he’d get a response from fans.

Not long after that tweet, Flynn took a page out of “Talladega Nights.”
Would it have helped if I said "with all due respect?" #RickyBobby
