Moss waived by Vikings?

According to a report by the NFL Network, Randy Moss has been waived by the Vikings a day after his five minute rant in his post game press conference about how much he loved playing in New England and that the Vikings coaching staff did not listen to his advice much leading up to the game against New England. Moss had only had 13 catches for 174 yards and 3 TDs since coming to the Vikings from New England for a third round draft pick. Some people were criticizing the Patriots for not getting more but the move could now look genius. The team could very easily choose to sign Moss back for a huge pay cut since he is not very attractive on the open market right now except to the Jets who are probably willing to sign him just to avoid facing him a third time in a season. It will be interesting if anyone steps and makes a claim as the Patriots will not. If he comes back to New England it would be once he cleared waivers and was a free agent. Even then, I don't think Belichick messes with the team's mojo that it has going right now. Moss would be a distraction and that is not what a 6-1 Patriots team needs right now.

Say It Ain't So Randy

Hey everyone, I know its been awhile but I think this story deserves a post from me. As reported by redd, the Pats traded Randy away for a 3rd round pick in the draft. This also tells me that the Pats are in a re-building phase. I expected a lot from the Pats this year. I expected as a Jet fan to finish in the Wild Card and the Pats winning the division. I am not selling my team short or anything, I just will always persume the division to go to the Pats until either the combo of Angry Bill and Metro Brady separate or the Jets win a Super Bowl, yeah I dont see any of that happening in the near future. But this trade changes everything. The Go To man on passing downs will be Welker but now he has to do deal with the opposing teams #1 DB. Welker has been putting incredible numbers but that was b/c the Pats and the 'fins at the time both had deep threats that the #1 DB was going for the big play. I will predict his numbers to dip. I dont see any of the other receivers as promising enough to be the big play guy. Yes, I know Brady is a god among men but common on man, you just have Welker. I just think this was horrible trade for the Pats. Yes they did get value for an expiring contract to get younger but in that draft that they got the pick for they already had 7 pick in the 1st 4 rounds. I think the Pats organizations should have paid the man his money. He deserves all of it, every cent. Yes he has not won a ring since coming to New England but he still has 3-5 years left in the tank and in those number of years you can will a SB. Dumb trade.
