Vikings Attempting To Gather Moss?

in Minnesota Vikings 2010 Season

From the REO Speedwagon section of the NFL rumor mill. . .ie "Heard it from a friend who. . .heard it from a friend who". . .the Minnesota Vikings are, apparently, in talks with the New England Patriots to do something that Viking fans have speculated about since 1 March 2005.
Yes, folks. . .it's entirely possible that Randy Moss could. . .COULD. . .be coming back to Minnesota.
The whole thing started with ESPN's Bill "The Sports Guy" Simmons putting something on his Twitter page that he intended to ONLY be a direct message to somebody. It's been picked up from there by Jay Glazer of Fox Sports. Pro Football Talk reports that the Vikings and Patriots are, indeed talking about a trade for Moss and. . .I hope you're sitting down. . .
He's reporting that "the deal is close."
Apparently the deal hinges on Moss agreeing to a new contract with the Vikings. His current deal expires at the end of this season, and he was pretty unhappy with the Patriots not giving him a contract extension during this past off-season.
If this is true. . .and I'm taking it with an entire shaker full of Morton's at this point. . .then I don't see any way this doesn't happen. The Vikings, by all accounts, had a deal in place with San Diego's Vincent Jackson. . .who, while a great receiver, isn't Randy Moss. . .but couldn't get the deal worked out with the Chargers. Now, they have the deal worked out with the Patriots (apparently), but need to get together with Moss' people on a contract.
I won't lie, folks. . .I'm downright giddy about the possibility of this happening. Moss wanted to play with Brett Favre prior to ending up with the Patriots, and Favre was apparently outright pissed off at Packer management for not doing what it took to get Moss to Green Bay and, essentially, getting outbid by New England for his services.
As soon as we get more news on this, we'll keep you posted as best we can. Until then. . .keep your fingers crossed, everyone.
Oh, and ignore that aroma from the surrounding areas. . .that's merely the after-effect of every defensive back in the NFC North simultaneously soiling themselves.

Favre: It's rare to ever see a QB be so indecisive, waffle...
It's also unlikely to have one start 19 consecutive seasons.
God I hope this happens
Randy was awesome as a Vike and that feeling in 98 when we ‘SHOULD’ have won the super bowl was great. Randall to Randy was awesome and I would love to see Randy in purple again. Second favorite Vikes receiver of all time behing the Great AC! Thats Anthony Carter for you young Viking fans.
What about ol' CC?
Where does he rank on that list?

CC ahead of AC in my books, all time stats...
Moss is the best deep threat of all time.

Loved CC, but no AC
The AC game against SF in 87 playoffs, thats my tipper. Big CC fan, dont get me wrong, but he’s no AC in my book.

Ah they were both good but
CC is going to the HOF eventually and AC is not. Nuff said.

Just the juice this offense needs. Do Brett a favor and link him with Randy.
I made an O Face when I first heard the news. If I get a legitimate excuse to break out the only Vikings jersey I have ever owned I may need new pants.

Think Mr. Favre would be happy with this acquisition?

I think the Vikings need to do whatever it takes. They need this to happen. Give away half the team.
yeaaaaa
i think we learned our lesson with herchel walker…..either way, all the trade deals have been worked out, just needs moss to sign that little piece of paper.
This would be awesome
a chance for Moss to redeem the ’98 season with his old team!
Before hearing about this I had never snickered in my life, but then, I did

he still has
his ghey lover in the booth with him to soothe and comfort him. And worse comes to worse, maybe he quits commentating football and sticks to baseball? ok ok too much too ask for…
So Glazer now is reporting the Vikes may just get him without a deal in place
and work out the contract later. !!!!!!!!!!
Pats fan here
Lots of chatter about this over at Pats Pulpit as well. Most of the fans are in WTF mode, but opinion is somewhat mixed. My own take is this: from all appearances, it does not look like Moss & the Pats are going to be able to work out an extension. So my take on it is rather than let Moss walk at the end of the season and get nothing in return, we work a deal to get something in return.
What do you guys think your front office would be willing to give away for Moss? If it’s going to be only picks, my guess is the asking price will be a pair of 2nd rounders, or perhaps something like you send over two 2nds and we send a 4th back to you. If it is going to be a player/pick combo, we’d likely be looking for help on D. Probably a proven pass rusher; or perhaps a starting-caliber CB. I don’t know your roster well enough to say whether you have anyone that fits that description that the team might be willing to part ways with.
Going to be an interesting next few days, methinks…
We'd probably give up D-Line, a lot of depth there

I was going to mention
how is your d-line depth? B/c ours is incredibly deep and talent to trade away if needs be.
by Jepp The Viking on Oct 5, 2010 8:18 PM CDT up reply actions
not great
Depth isn’t great, we lost Ty Warren to IR before the season began. The big issue is no real playmakers to get a pass rush. A lot of “okay” guys, but not that one difference-maker to make the big play when you need it, or to attract so much attention that it frees up other guys to make plays. That’s my analysis at least.
What would we give away?
Um, how does “whatever it takes” sound?

CB probably wouldn't be on the block
especially after the pickle we were in earlier this season. A guy that we might trade is Brian Robison. This guy is a great DE and is sometimes overshadowed by Edwards and Allen. He is one of those luxury guys that you want to keep but is also a great bargaining chip. Or just send us a list, and we’ll have them out to you by the morning.
NE plays a 3-4
Where would Robison fit in on that?

Bring Randy Home
It was plain BS that he was traded to begin with. Think of what this team could have accomplished if they had kept him. Hopefully he’ll be back in time to moon the Packers again in Lambeau.
3rd Round pick
That’s all the Pats get, the Vikes don’t give up a D-Lineman being that Mitchell was just traded and Pat Williams is done after this year. Problem….. Moss would take the open spot on the 53 man roster and the Vikes will have to move someone off it when Rice comes back.
don't think that would cut it
I would be shocked if the Pats trade Moss for a 3rd rounder, especially considering the Vikings are one of the better teams in the league so you are likely talking about a LOW 3rd rounder…if you guys were the Raiders or something it might be different (haha). But my guess is, even if the Pats have no intention to sign Moss after the season, they hold on to him for one more year with Brady rather than trade him away for only a 3rd.
How do you sleep at night
Constantly raping the Raiders in trades? It’s like beating a Down Syndrome sufferer at chess….and not the savant kind.

I bet Moss has a say
and the Pats really won’t have a lot of options, my guess this is Moss standing behind what he said a few years back, that he wants to finish his career in Minnesota. H ewas already dealt to the black hole in Oakland , he’s not about to let himself be dealt to another team like that. I really don’t think the pats have as much leverage in this deal as many people think.
true to a point
But the Pats also have no need to trade him. It’s not like he’s a locker room cancer or anything like that, he’s been (arguably) more team-oriented this year than any year he’s been in a NE uniform.
Belichick does not get fleeced in trades. Ever. If the offer isn’t what he considers a good value, Belichick will be perfectly fine keeping Moss on the team and making one final Superbowl run with the Brady/Moss tandem. Pats lead the league in points scored through four weeks of the season. If a trade doesn’t happen, things will move along just fine.
At the risk of just letting him walk away?
Next year assuming football is actually played.
by Jepp The Viking on Oct 5, 2010 8:32 PM CDT up reply actions
let's remember who we are talking about
If Randy wants out of there and doesn’t get his way, then he simply shuts it down for the remainder of the year, takes plays off and then what do the Pats have?

reports out of New England say
Team says “there is no trade.” Which of course, is true enough since nothing has been finalized yet. But reports are that, when give a chance, no one at the NE end is “shooting it down” when given the chance to do so. Sounds like something is happening for sure.

Welcome back to the NFC North, Randy. Favre had been pining for Moss as a teammate, looks like he might get his wish.
This according to Jay Glazer on twitter. Bill Simmons seems to concur. Looks like it may come down to whether or not they can get a contract extension signed. Ugh.
Update: Reported that NE will receive a 3rd round pick for Moss, whose contract is up this year.
Assuming this happens, does this again make the Vikings a legitimate threat to win the NFC North? Do Randy and Favre have a connection? Will his attitude be a poison to the Vikes? Discuss.

if the reports are true that the trade is for a 3rd and a 4th
Then you guys are getting a steal.
At the same time, due to previous trades, that would mean the Pats would have the following picks in next year’s draft:
2 first round
2 second round
2 third round
3 fourth round
As much as I hate the idea of losing Moss, I must say, looking over that collection of draft picks is enough to make me drool.
That is a very nice draft!

Where would you fit them?
Besides, my guess is they will use picks to trade for low first rounders and high second rounders and get quality at a lower price. NE has never been one to be in the tops in payscale and I don’t see that changing. Belicheck is too proud to take the focus off of himself and his supposed “genius”. The man never won anything without Brady and had quite possibly the best team ever and still couldn’t outcoach the Giants in that Super Bowl.
Well, that would depend on the talent level of the players drafted
Hoodie likes to snap up those mid-rounders, so he may or may not trade up for picks.
But the draft is always hit or miss, so he will likely make room for the hits, and shovel the misses to the practice squad.
Could only imagine what it would look like if they traded Tom Brady!

NEW NEWS: Apparently it was going down, but there was a snag
and the talks also started before last nights game.
he would only need permission to talk extension with new team
that has nothing to do with the trade itself
"We have a right to be proud, for in our veins flows the blood of many brave races who fought as the lion fights for lordship. Here, in the whirlpool of European races, the Ugric tribe bore down from Iceland the fighting spirit which Thor and Odin gave them, which their Berserkers displayed to such fell intent on the seaboards of Europe, ay, and of Asia and Africa too, till the peoples thought that the werewolves themselves had come."
-from Bram Stoker's Dracula
it's a conundrum
If the Pats let Moss talk to the Vikes and they work out a long-term deal, then that increases what the Pats can ask for in a trade (on the basis that, a guy with a long-term contract is a more valuable asset than a guy that the Vikes, theoretically, could lose at the end of the season.)
On the flipside, if the Pats let Moss talk to the Vikes and there are problems in the two sides working out a deal, that could kill the trade entirely.

my guess
The Pats just realized how desperate Vikings nation is to make this trade, and just upped their demands to:
“Every single 2nd round pick you will ever have, in every draft, between now and the end of the world. Plus a conditional pick in next year’s draft.”

I’m so tired of seeing him twice a year in the afc east.
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

From Adam Schefter
Two well-placed NFL sources predicting tonight that the Randy Moss-to-Minnesota trade will be consummated Wednesday.
by Runt of the Litter on Oct 5, 2010 11:48 PM CDT reply actions
REPORT: Moss to Vikings Likely on Wednesday!
“One source with intimate knowledge of the situation just told me that not only is the belief that the Moss-to-Vikings trade will happen… but also that it will also likely happen in the next day.
That means that this person believes Moss will become a Vikings receiver by the end of Wednesday. Nothing is certain, of course, but things are moving extremely quickly."
Instant respectability!
Imagine Moss, Peterson, Harvin, Shiancoe and Rice all running around the field at the same time. Multiple threats like that can result in a lot of 35-point offensive outbursts.
Can't forget k-Sauce!
Man hearing this on the radio coming into work actually brought a tear to my eye. Then I almost killed 9 people as I texted and drove.. :p
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
Best news I've had in weeks
Love it! It was inevitable in a way (the Pats were NEVER going to give him an extension, might as well get something for him) and I’m ecstatic that the Vikings are being aggressive with this. Randy back in purple within the next 24 hours, guaranteed.
Congrats!
I can’t see how (regardless of your current record) this doesn’t make you guys front-runners in the NFC…not just the NFC North, but the NFC. One Rice comes back, you’ll have Moss, Rice, Harvin, Shiancoe, AD, and a more rested/comfortable Favre (after the bye). I hope that we’ll be healthy when we meet you the second time around in the playoffs because it will be a much different game.
A lot of props go out to your FO…without this move, you guys could seriously be looking at a 1-6 record…with it, you should easily be contending for 5-2 and then heading into the softer part of your schedule. What really amazes me is that y’all are going to only give up a third round pick for Moss and the Pats are likely goign to turn around and give up two secon round picks or else one of their first round picks and a third rounder for Vincent Jackson. That or else they are not going to have an effective pass offense this season.

We saw how those turned out. Adding Moss to our offense presents opportunities that my brain can’t even fathom at the moment. One of my all time favorite Vikings teamed with my alltime least-favorite Packer. Strange days.
