Flannery was selected by the Houston Oilers in the second round (44th overall) of the 1991 NFL Draft. Because future hall of famer Bruce Matthews was the starting center at the time, he was moved to right guard where he started the first 9 games of the season until suffering a knee sprain and playing mainly on special teams after that. He was named to the NFL All-Rookie team.
In 1992, he appeared in 15 games and started 2 at left guard. He injured his left knee returning a short kickoff in the ninth game against the Cleveland Browns. He missed the next game and needed arthroscopic surgery on the knee during the off-season.
In 1993, he was lost for the season with a torn left anterior cruciate ligament he suffered in training camp on July 31. In 1994, he was the regular starter at left guard, making it the first time in his career he started all 16 games.
In 1995, he had surgery during training camp to repair the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, which he originally injured in 1993. He was waived injured on August 8.
On August 10, 1995, he signed a contract with the Green Bay Packers, but it was invalidated after he failed a physical because of his previous knee injury.
On October 3, 1996, he was signed 4 weeks into the season as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys. He spent the season rehabbing his left knee, which was surgically repaired the previous year. He was declared inactive for 10 games, until seeing his first action in the fourth quarter of the season finale against the Washington Redskins.
In 1997, he competed with Clay Shiver for the starting center position that was left open with the release of Ray Donaldson, but he ended up as the backup and started 4 games at left guard.
On April 1st, 1998, he was signed as a free agent by the St. Louis Rams and was named the starter at center. The next year, he was placed on the injured reserve list, in a season the team went on to win Super Bowl XXXIV. He wasn't re-signed after the season.
