The important number here is 10, as in $10 million guaranteed, which is a very modest number for a possible starting quarterback. The word possible is chosen carefully as head coach Pete Carroll told CBS Sports Pat Kirwan that Flynn would be in a competition for the starting job with Tarvaris Jackson.

What does this move reveal about the Seahawks' draft plans?"

He was paid much less then Kolb and like I said before, he is worth what you pay him.
$6.333 million per season for a starting QB is laughable! I had no idea that deal was so cheap. That only makes the Flynn signing that much better for Seattle.
I don't fully understand NFL contracts to be honest but I do understand that because a contract is 19 mil 3 years, doesn't mean that you get 6.333m per year. The guaranteed money is what is important. And he will make 10 million dollars. The rest of that money is the MAXIMUM he can get after collecting bonuses for passing yards TDs starting games etc.... Money he won't collect if he doesn't start due to the inability to reach these stats. So 10 mil for 3 years is the real number you should be paying attention to like the article states. So even BETTER BETTER signing lol.
