RANDY MOSS TO VIKINGS

BLACKHAND · Post by **BLACKHAND** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 1:16 pm

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports the Vikings are "very close" to acquiring Randy Moss from the Patriots.
How's that for a shocker? Per CSN New England's Tom Curran, the Pats' compensation is "rumored" to be a third-rounder. Multiple reports are now emerging to corroborate. The deal can't be finalized until the Vikings work out a new contract for Moss, which Glazer says the sides are currently addressing. Brett Favre has long pined for deep threat Moss as a teammate. It looks like he's going to get his wish, putting to rest speculation that he could walk away later this season if the Vikes don't turn it aroun

I don't really get this from NE's perspective. That's gonna be a whole lot of 8 yard crossing routes. I guess they think Tate is better than he's shown.

OTOH, Moss can now play all 17 weeks

Yep that deal makes alot of sense. Moss is clearly not wanted in New England anymore as indicated by the 0 catches ysterday.

Talk about a big bump in value for Favre if Moss goes to the Vikings. Also Moss will put up some huge numbers as Favre won't be afraid to throw to him like Brady has failed to do recently.

I think Brady's value takes a hit for the rest of the season as his best targets are a crippled Welker and some rookie tight ends.

Brady had his best season as a pro because of Moss.

look at it a little different here. yes favre will get bumped up but so will brandon tate. he is not available in my league but he will be worth every dime you can pay.

Tate is not going to be the guy. There is another shoe to drop. Belicheck is nuts. Would not be shocked to see them flip the pick they get for Moss, add a late rounder and get Jackson. No way they voluntarily choose to make the team that much worse this year. Brady is not a kid.
