The rumor around Oakland was that Moss didn't appear that interested in playing football. I am wondering how bad his injury actually is.
I saw Moss play last season. He acted like a jerk-off. He ran a deep cross and was open briefly. The kid QB was totally off rhythm and didn't release the ball. Moss shook his head disgustedly and kept running to the bench to sulk. The Raiders didn't know he was off the field and had to call a time-out to field 11 players. Shell was looking around for him to figure out what was happening.
I said pass on Moss in Feb. The guy is an immature, self-centered dick.
He can still run (I think), but his act ain't worth having on a team.
This is all headline grabbing garbage! What can we write to get people to click on our site. What BS. Greenbay would be lucky to have Moss on the roster! Some of you are sheep!!
We are hearing more -- not less -- of those rumors that the Patriots might pull the plug prematurely on the Randy Moss experiment.
The talk is intensifying in the media, and among league insiders. One league source tells us that Moss is "bitching quietly" about his perceived role in the offense. A media source says that "where there's smoke there's fire" on this story.
Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald mentions the rumors, and reports that Tim DiPiero, who represents Moss, had not heard of any potential issues with the former Pro Bowler whose arrival in New England has helped to push expectations higher than ever.
Though Moss was not released on Saturday, the team could still dump him prior to next weekend and avoid responsibility for his $2.5 million salary. As we mentioned on Saturday night, the Pats currently have six receivers on the roster -- Moss, Donte' Stallworth, Wes Welker, Jabar Gaffney, Reche Caldwell, and Kelley Washington. (Troy Brown and Chad Jackson are on the PUP list.)
Notably absent are any youngsters who would try to earn reps with the offense in the future through heavy involvement in special teams. As the roster is currently configured, guys like Gaffney and Caldwell (both starters in 2006) and Washington would be used for punt/kick coverage/return teams.
Could it be that the Pats will try to shop Moss to someone like the Packers or the Vikings before cutting him? Though Minnesota coach and former Eagles offensive coordinator Brad Childress surely has no interest in acquiring another potential T.O., owner Zygi Wilf might conclude that a return by Randy could be the way to sell out all of the seats for 2007.
Moss back to the Raiders to team with Cullpecker. I don't see 3T going after Moss anymore with the emergence of Jones. Although it would be nice, Martin has proven he can get the jump ball and may be as fast as Moss is now. I know Martin isn't a speedster and never will be but you have to think Moss lost a step or two. If we can pick him up for the original deal then sure, bring him in as long as he is healthy. Having that kind of firepower just make make our running game not matter.

Whoa, slow your roll there. I wanted moss and after the preseason played out I dont. What's sheepish about that?
Cause a rookie plays well in the preseason(like Jennings last season) and we all saw how Jennings worked out, he made it about half a season! Then negative story about Moss comes out and all of a sudden we don't need a playmaker on this offense. Well negative stories will always follow Moss and I fully expect Jennings(the seemingly forgotten man in Green Bay) to have a much more productive season thank Jones. Jones will show flashes, but he is a rookie and well they usually take time! Having a legit homerun threat in this offense would be a blessing, especially with the feelings this D will keep us in most games! Keep it close and make a big play a good recipe. Moss is a no brainer, at his cost its a gamble well worth taking! And rest assured, Moss can still fly.

For the four games a year he isn't nursing a sore hammy....what is this, the third year in a row?
Yeah TO nused a hammy all training camp last year and well he put up some good numbers. Thats just the MO for these guys. They don't need no stinking camp! Sad part is they may be right!
