While a report this week pegged the Jaguars as most likely destination for Seahawks backup quarterback Matt Flynn, the Jaguars apparently aren’t going to pursue him now.

According to Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, the Jaguars “explored the possibility,” of trading for Flynn, before deciding not to.

A source described the interest as “due diligence” and nothing more.

As long as the Jaguars depth chart consists of Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne, people are going to link them to every available quarterback. But with the draft four weeks from today, there’s no reason to acquire Flynn now if you think you can pick a guy you prefer.
