But Kahn's mission was financial flexibility and he wasn't as concerned with talent for this year. What this team needs more than anything else is a legit star, a #1 option. Cap space is a big tool to use for acquiring a star, as is a high draft pick. By moving talent for cap space, Kahn has significantly hedged his bet in favor of getting better talent next year. Hopefully his strategy will pay off, we'll just have to wait and see.
As for Flynn vs. Sessions. I think the coaching staff feels that Flynn is the obvious better talent and they want to put the best talent on the floor. Rambis has been pretty adamant (or stubborn) about his use of Flynn and Sessions and I haven't necessarily agreed with the way he's been using them, but he seems to have a method to his madness so I'm willing to ride it out a bit longer and see.

If management is going to ride it out I hope Sullenberger is flying the plane.
