On the other hand, Chris Russell says they are indeed very interested.
It's all informed speculation at this point. No one knows for sure because it's simply too early to know. It's no report per se. Look, a couple of years ago I told you all that the Redskins had no interest in Julius Peppers based on what I'd heard. Other "insiders" said they did...turns out they didn't. Last year both Chris Russell and I heard (perhaps from the same source) that the Redskins were serious about Sidney Rice...turns out they weren't
All I'm saying is, while Mel and I (and others) don't think the Redskins are seriously interested in Flynn, there is nothing to really report. So don't take what anyone speculates at this point as gospel.

Excellent points you make. I played fantasy football this year, and so I watched the talking heads on the NFL Network every week. They were always frustrated with Shanahan because they never knew who would start for the Redskins, especially at running back. Mike husbands his information, gives nothing away. Same deal in the offseason; he gives nothing away. He guards every morsel of information. Makes it hard for fans and analysts to get solid offseason info. That leaves us with nothing but speculation to talk about, which can be fun, but probably not worth getting too excited about. Just have to wait and see what happens.
