Over the past two days, we've speculated on reports that Oakland, Jacksonville, and even the Bills could be possible trade partners for the Seahawks' backup QB, and while the suitor remains unknown, as time goes on it's looking more and more likely that a trade will indeed happen one way or another.

Yesterday, the a report surfaced that the Jaguars were 'out' of the running. Now, according to Ian Rapoport, it's not the Bills (or Cardinals, who hadn't been mentioned) either. That leaves the Raiders, or a not-yet-named mystery team.

If a Flynn trade is imminent (as @edwerderespn said), it's not #Bills. #Jaguars came out and said no yesterday. #Raiders an option, tho

It's not the #Cardinals who traded for Matt Flynn. Everyone pointing me to #Raiders. We'll see when we can find out more.
