Source: Packers close to deal for Moss
By Michael Felger
Boston Herald Patriots Beat Columnist
Thursday, March 15, 2007 - Updated: 10:37 AM EST
For those holding out hope that the Patriots plans to revamp the wide receiver position included trading for Randy Moss, we have some bad news for you.
A source in Wisconsin said today that the Packers and Raiders are on the verge of announcing a trade that would send the troubled receiver to Green Bay in exchange for backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
There are expected to be other particulars in the deal. According to the source, Green Bay would also give up a seventh-round pick in 2008, while the Packers would receive Raiders tight end Courtney Anderson as part of the deal. The Packers would also receive a conditional pick from the Raiders in the 2009 draft which would be based on Rodgers’ production in Oakland the next two seasons.
The source indicated that Moss has agreed to restructure his contract, which calls for $20 million in base salary the next two years. Moss and Packers quarterback Brett Favre are said to have been talking on the phone throughout the process. Press conferences could be held as early as Friday.

we may want to stay close to our streaming internet radio today...
Just do it already Mr Thompson. Like a band aid. Tear it fast. Will Drew Stanton be around at the 48th pick or does this preclude some first round trading down?

It's so hard to determine what to believe. Especially when our own front office specifically says that trading Rodgers is not in the mix. It seems like that is all we're hearing lately now (Rodgers being traded).
Thanks for the article, Motife.

ESPN (Cold Pizza) just reported a COMPLETELY contradictory story. They said the only way the Packers are interested in Moss is if the Raiders cut him, and a trade including Rodgers is NOT an option.
Just bringing the news - not implying that there's any truth to any of it.

Now that would be some downright shitty journalism.
I’m torn if Rodgers is part of the deal. Not that I think he’s the next great one, but who do we have – Ingle Martin? Puleease. I’ll take Rodgers of Martin. I’m sure they are now expecting Favre to play two more years, but we need another QB prospect. The thought of Driver and Moss out there is kind of scary. Favre could put up some serious numbers next year.

I actually hold a little hope for Martin he is very raw like Favre was and Spurrier must have saw something in him he was #1 at Florida until he left for the Redskins. C. Leak replaces him at a huge D-1 school and may not get drafted any higher than Ingle at Furman. He at the very least could be another Hasselbeck.

MOSS DEAL CLOSE
Michael Felger of the Boston Herald reports that the Green Bay Packers are close to acquiring receiver Randy Moss from the Raiders. In return, the Raiders would get quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Is there a freaking echo in here?
We feel vindicated by Felger's report, primarily because our string of stories about this looming deal over the past month or so have been flat-out ignored and/or completely disregarded by the "real" media.
On his Green Bay radio show, our old friend Chris Havel scoffed at our report. Other writers felt compelled to apologize to us via e-mail for printing G.M. Ted Thompon's flippant response to our Rodgers-for-Moss items. Consider this, from the March 1 Wisconsin State Journal:
"Thompson did say the team wasn't actively shopping backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Profootballtalk.com reported the Raiders asked for a first-round pick for Moss, and the Packers countered with offering Rodgers. Rodgers, reached Thursday, said he had not been told he was on the trading block.
"'All I can say is,' Thompson said, 'you shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet.'"
The more accurate message is this: You shouldn't believe anything that comes out of Ted Thompson's mouth. Ever.

Carr would be a great pick up if Rodgers is traded. He is a HUGE Favre fan and needs time on the bench to get over the shellshock from the Texans terrible OLine.

Not just terrible line. Can you say Dayne/Gado/Lundy as their starting backfield by commitee last year? That's grim.
I wouldn't consider him Favre's future replacement necessarily but give him a year or two behind Favre as insurance and a decent line (I know Wist thinks otherwise about the status of our line but I'm optimistic they continue to improve) and he'd be at least a possibility for the future. Given he's likely to be cut the risk would be minimal.

The thing I don't like about this rumor is it's too good to be true, therefore it isn't.
Ted Thompson drafted Aaron Rodgers and we've been told over and over again that he's heir apparant to Brett Favre. OK. What else would we expect to hear on this matter? Yet would TT part with the franchise's future QB? I say no.
To suddenly trade Aaron Rodgers to Oakland in a move that would certainly help OUR 'O' for the immediate future ( getting not only Moss but a young and large target at TE )and take pressure off Favre to retire between now and the end of 2007 ($12 million released for more CAP space) would be a huge change in direction for OUR GM. Thus adding support that the rumor is baloney as well.
Now look at all the money that the rumored deal supposedly gurantee's Randy Moss.
That money added to the money it would tie up to go with Favre and Moss in 2007-08, doesn't fit the Ted Thompson plan to build via the draft nor demonstrate fiscal restraint by protecting the CAP.
To build more effectively via the draft ask yourself:
Does TT want OUR team to strengthen on 'O'?
The only way we ever land Randy Moss is if Oakland trades him and a high draft pick to us; NOT the other way around.
A deal for Moss would have to be offered that TT couldn't turn down or appear 'the fool'.

I think it's funny as hell. You guys will REALLY dig some of the catches he makes, he's fun to watch. But then the negative stuff will hit, and it will become a love/hate thing just like with his last two teams. Actually he hasn't done much the last two years, he's always hurt so it was more of a hate/hate thing with the Raiders.

Here's an update - 1:20 pm central time:
By Rob Demovsky
rdemovsk@greenbaypressgazette.com
Bob Harlan, the Green Bay Packers’ chairman and CEO, said this morning it seemed unlikely that a trade to acquire receiver Randy Moss from Oakland was imminent.
Reached in his office, Harlan said he had not heard a Boston Herald report that quoted “a Wisconsin source†as saying the Packers and Raiders are on the verge of announcing a trade that would send Moss to the Packers for backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Harlan said he has not spoken with General Manager Ted Thompson since he left for a scouting trip on Tuesday afternoon.
“If (a trade) was that close, (Thompson) would have called us by now,†Harlan said.
Thompson presented his monthly report to the Packers’ board of directors during its regular meeting on Tuesday morning and then left town. He is not scheduled to return until Friday night.
The subject of Moss came up during Tuesday’s meeting, but Thompson didn’t indicate a deal was about to be made.
“No, not at all,†Harlan said. “And he would have told that group if it was that close.â€
Thompson was not immediately available for comment.
The trade, according to the Herald’s source, would send Rodgers and a seventh-round draft pick in 2008 to the Raiders for Moss, tight end Courtney Anderson and a conditional 2009 draft pick that would depend on how well Rodgers played for the Raiders in 2007 and 2008.
Okay. It's patently false. Kill the damn rumor.

Thompson: Moss trade talk is 'wild speculation'
By Rob Demovsky
rdemovsk@greenbaypressgazette.com
Ted Thompson, the Green Bay Packers’ general manager, this afternoon dismissed a report that a trade to acquire receiver Randy Moss from the Oakland Raiders was imminent, saying it was nothing more than “wild speculation.â€
In a statement released by the team’s public relations department, Thompson said: “We dismiss this report as wild speculation.â€
Bob Harlan, the Packers’ chairman and CEO, said this morning he was unaware of a Boston Herald report that quoted “a Wisconsin source†as saying the Packers and Raiders are on the verge of announcing a trade that would send Moss to the Packers for backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Sources: Deal for Moss not imminent
Bob McGinn, JSO
The Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders are not close to a trade in which the Packers would acquire wide receiver Randy Moss, NFL sources familiar with the situation told the Journal Sentinel today.
Officials from both teams labeled as inaccurate a report written by Michael Felger of the Boston Herald quoting a source in Wisconsin that the two teams "are on the verge of announcing a trade that would send the troubled wide receiver to Green Bay in exchange for backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers."
"It's all a joke," a personnel man for one of the two clubs said.
"It's not true," said another personnel man for one of the two teams. "That's just stupid."

They interviewed the Boston Herald reporter who broke the story on the Madison's ESPN affiliate. He said his source has never been wrong and he fully expects denials until the deal is officially announced. By rule, they must deny it because of tampering. He also said it could be announced as early as tomorrow or it could be after the draft. He was born and raised in Milwaukee and that is how he has the Wisconsin source who he would not name.

Haven't we learned that believing everything somebody posts on a forum is dangerous to your health. There's a decent shot of a Moss trade happening. It wouldn't have been discussed in a meeting between Thompson and the Packers board. I have serious doubts that, if it does, it will look anything like the Herald article reports (Rodgers and pick(s) for Moss and Courtney Anderson). We'll see how close the final deal is to what actually transpires.

While I wouldn't mind TT telling me personally what he's going to do, I would certainly mind TT telling the other 31 teams in the NFL what he's going to do. It's commonly known trait of all NFL GMs who are at least semi-competent that anything they say between the end of their team's season and the start of training camp has a good chance of being an out and out lie to help out the team in the draft, in a trade, or in free agency.

There could be something to this rumor, maybe TT isn't that thrilled with Rogers anyway and could get rid of him and beef up the offense at the same time.

This is so much sludge. The essence of the article was that the trade was imminent. Imminent. Now, when it's obvious the trade is NOT imminent - there is no press conference announced, Harlan has shot the thing down - the people responsible backpedal and say um, we meant that the trade is going to happen. We don't know when, just that something's up. So that's what we meant and we stand by that.
No shit. Everybody knows that the Packers are interested. So the article is in fact wrong.
No more Moss commentary from me until either the trade happens or until April 1, whichever comes first.

If he is cut, the hoax will be permanent.
I can't imagine he'd be cut. Whether he has the worth of his contract or not, he still has value. Also, Davis won't admit a mistake of that magnitude either.
I'll bet if he's still a Raider, he sits, just like Marcus Allen did.
