I've seen Bowie play a couple times, A good hustling kid. He'll have to bear down to make the league.Originally posted by woodbuck27OK thanks.Originally posted by packers11
I missed that.
There a real cute article in the local paper about the kid. He felt he would be drafted, but at his size, ya never know. Next thing he knows, he's basically traded to Oakland for Randy Moss. The kid is baffled!Comment

That it was 100% TT and NOT Moss. I didn't read the article, but I heard the interview. He said he talked to guys all the way to the top, and said that they were working on a deal with Moss in the range of 3.5-4, about what NE offered him. In the end, he says TT wouldn't offer more than a 5th and wouldn't beat the offer NE put on the table for Moss' services.Originally posted by MJZiggyComment

Do you know if Moss agreed to redo his deal if he was traded to GB?"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

NEW ENGLAND WAS RANDY'S FIRST TARGET
In a release posted on his official web site, former Raiders receiver Randy Moss makes clear that his first choice for a new home was the place where he eventually landed -- the New England Patriots..
“Several weeks ago, when the Raiders first gave Randy permission to talk to other teams about a possible trade, the first team contacted was New England," said agent Tim DiPiero in a release. "Randy wanted to find a team with an established quarterback and coach, a team with a need at wide receiver and most importantly a team with a good chance of going to the Super Bowl. When you consider the genius of Coach Belichick, the brilliance of Tom Brady, a first class organization with the record of the Patriots which arguably had a need at wide receiver, New England was the natural spot."
As we reported on Sunday, it was an unexpected move by Moss to slash his 2007 salary by more than $6 million that finally got New England's attention on Saturday night.
The remarks from DiPiero also reveal that Moss had been on the market for weeks, and the release calls into question reports from Wisconsin suggesting that the Packers spurned Moss and not the other way around.
The Wisconsin State Journal suggests that Moss would have been willing to cut his pay to the same amount that he'll receive in 2007 from the Patriots, and that the deal fell apart only because Green Bay G.M. Ted Thompson would not give up more than a fifth-rounder, even though it's now confirmed that the Packers initially offered (as we had heard) a fourth-rounder for Moss.
The key difference, in our view, is the concession by the WSJ that the Packers wanted a two-year deal. All other things equal, a one-year contract is far better for Moss, since it gives him a chance to rehab his image and hit the cap-crazy free-agent market in March 2008.
So we're not buying -- for a nanosecond -- the notion that the Packers left Moss at the alter. In reality, the guy who once gave a fake moon to the Lambeau Field faithful finally showed his bare butt to the front office."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Not sure I blame Thompson for wanting Moss to sign a two year deal. Who wants to trade a 4th round pick for a guy who will likely play one year for you?"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

completely agree with that
we're not winning a Super Bowl in 07 so no need to give up a pick for a guy for a year.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

I want to hear a logical reason why a 4th round pick for an established WR like Moss would be "too much"...really. that is the dumbest bunch of BS I've ever heard.Comment

Pretty sure you can find many logical arguments against Moss in any Moss thread...I want to hear a logical reason why a 4th round pick for an established WR like Moss would be "too much"...really. that is the dumbest bunch of BS I've ever heard.
I say who gives an eff. It's over now and Im glad I can go back to hating Moss without impunity.Comment
