I'm not sure of the details, but Palmer was eating up Cincy's cap space, so not only did they get 2 picks, but they freed up some room.

As far as Flynn goes, I could think of a handful of other guys with expierence that would have come cheap and been a better alternative then Flynn.

Guys like, David Carr, Charlie Whitehurst, Derek Anderson, Shaun Hill, John Kitna.
