The Randy Moss Saga Thread

[NC State-31 UNC-27]

Apparently Bill Simmons accidentally tweeted asking for info when he meant to DM it to somebody who must be in the know.

Now Jay Glazer says the Vikes and Pats have been working on a trade to bring Moss to Minnesota but have to work out a contract for Moss first.

The Minnesota Vikings are attempting to pull off their biggest blockbuster since acquiring Brett Favre.

FOXSports.com has learned that the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots have been in serious trade talks and are very close to a deal that would send All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss back to the team that drafted him.

However, Patriots sources say the deal is contigent upon Moss working out a contract with the Vikings. All sides are still trying to hammer out the contract Tuesday.

In a 41-point outburst Monday night over the Dolphins, Moss caught zero passes, and he has made his displeasure known with his contract status in New England.

Moss, 33, was a first-round pick of the Vikings in 1998 and shined for several years before being shipped to Oakland in 2005. The four-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowl selection was traded from the Raiders to the Patriots on Day 1 of the 2007 NFL draft in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the ’07 draft.

In his first three seasons in New England, Moss caught 250 passes for 3,765 yards and 47 touchdowns. In 2010, he has nine catches for 139 yards and three touchdowns.

The Vikings have been searching for a star-caliber receiver and were unable to pick up Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson.

Brett Farve's Just throw it up mentality + Randy's hops = scary possibilities.

I would love, love, love for that trade to happen.

Re: Moss to the Vikings?

Would be the dumbest move the Patriots could make this season.

How about, instead of trading him, you give him a new four year contract and let he and Brady end their careers kicking some ***.

****ing idiots.

You said it. Sorry about my out-of-line comments the other night, by the way. I was cranky.

This basically ruins my night as my phone is now being spam-texted by suddenly-confident Vikings fans.

Re: Moss to the Vikings?

Could the Vikings get the best and 2nd best news of their season in the same week?

Re: Moss to the Vikings?

Favre needs Moss to avoid going out like a complete chump. He can't hit the broad side of a barn this year so he needs a guy like Moss to bring down those balls. Stupid move by the Patriots if true. Just goes to show.....Favre doesn't make his receivers. They make him.

Re: Moss to the Vikings?

Do you need to troll every Vikings related thread with your Favre hatred?

Seriously, you have issues and need help. Maybe it's time to unplug for a while?

Don't sweat it, it gave me something to do during another sleepless night. Can't imagine I was the most pleasant either. Besides you didn't make my signature so you couldn't have been that out of line.

Re: Moss to the Vikings?

Actually, this is one of the first threads i've posted on that doesn't have "Favre" in the title when it comes to that guy.
