Good Monday everyone. It was a LONG weekend (and
expensive) for a lot of NFL teams and their fans.

Here is what I hear On The Sidelines.

The Packers and Raiders are still talking about
sending Moss to the Packers for either a 2nd round
pick this year and a conditional pick (no higher than
a 3 and no lower then a 5 next year) or a 3rd rounder,
a player and a conditional pick (no higher then a 2 no
lower then a 5 next year). Various radio reports
throughout the country reported (like I did Friday)
that a deal was reached, but none other then my
original source would (or shall I say could) confirm
it. I guess the Pats are now really looking hard into
dealing for Moss as well.

The Packers are also trying to set a date to visit
with Justin Griffith, Chris Brown, Cory Dillion, and
Deon Grant. Joe Horn is also an option if the Moss
deal doesn't happen and would be a lot cheaper. The two
sides may work out a visit later this week.

The Packers MAY be one of two teams that could trade
for Dolphins TE Randy McMichael. The Dolphins have
contacted 2 NFC North teams and are asking for a 3rd
round pick or player in return.

The Packers are trying to get a date to host Travis
Henry, but he is in Oakland today and the Raiders may
try to have a deal done before he leaves. The Raiders
will release LaMont Jordan (who may end up back with
the Jets) later this week.

Willis McGahee may be an option for the Packers,
again, if the Moss trade doesn't happen. The Broncos,
Giants, Browns and Raiders are also options.

Look for the Houston Texans to try and trade Dominick
Williams (Davis) after signing Ahman Green.

Rumor is the Broncos traded Jake Plummer to the
Buccaneers to keep him away for the Raiders. If they
would have released him, Oakland and Houston would
have tried to sign him, and Mike Shanahan did NOT
want Plummer in Oakland.

Joey Porter has gotten interest from the Dolphins,
Browns, Ravens, Bengals, Cowboys, Packers (although it
was slight), Lions and Texans.

Look for the Broncos to sign former Bengal WR Kelly
Washington by the weekend.

Travis Henry BACK to Buffalo? It could happen when
(if) the Bills trade Willis McGahee.

I would actually be willing to buy this. The list of people inside the NFL who hate Al Davis is large and its heartfelt. No storyline in the NFL is better than hating on Al. Great story in SI a long time ago about a Cowboy front office type asking who was the most disliked team in the league. Writer answers obvious "America's Team". Exec says no way, we'll never catch the Raiders.

In fact, I am rooting for this to be true. I expect Paul Z1mmerman to explain this Friday.

edit-stupid norman substitution!

again, if the Moss trade doesn't happen. . . . Joe Arrigo

So I'm guessing from this (insider) it's completely out of the question that we could have both.

A happy off season for me would be trading for Moss, signing an experienced back like Henry, drafting a rookie back like Lynch in the first or Irons in the second. If we don’t get Lynch in the first get Landry, Okoye, Quinn (that’s if we trade Rodgers) or a good WR to develop with Jennings while we have Moss. Then sign Grant. All of this would have me being pretty optimistic about next season.

Why not draft a receiver in a deep receiver draft and a running back next year in the deepest running back draft ever?

Yes, but all that seems far too reasonable given Ted Thompson's ways.

What would be unreasonable is drafting an 8.0 prospect in Lynch when next year they can add a 9.0 prospect. Why sacrifice the future for the present?

Woodbuck is low on patience--he is a results oriented dude.
