Moss quitting on his team? (1 Viewer)

Word out of Oakland is that Randy Moss (ankle) is well enough to play but has simply packed it up for the season. He's listed as questionable.

http://www.nj.com/sports/ledger/index.ssf?....xml&coll=1

Isn't it 100% now that Moss will have a new home for next year. Where might he end up? Atlanta?
Not surprising one bit; he desperately wants out of Oak-town. The last thing he wants is to suffer a freak injury that torpedos any trade value he may have. As far as teams he may go to, I would put Jax, Min, Miami, NEW, Tampa, and SF having some interest.
 
Where might he end up? Atlanta?
:bowtie: Moss had already been quoted before the season began, that he would've preferred to have been traded to Baltimore or Atlanta, instead of Oakland.Art Blank responded by saying Moss will never disgrace a Falcons uniform as long as he's the owner.Same with TO.Something about their character...or lack of it I should say.

and I can't see Baltimore having the cap room to sign him. How about GB?
 
(Rotoworld) The Newark Star-Ledger reports Randy Moss' ankle is healthy enough to play but that he has "simply packed it up for the season."

Impact: Another sign Moss' time has come to an end in Oakland. The St. Paul Pioneer Press ran an item last Sunday indicating the Vikings could show interest, but due to Brad Childress' history with troublesome receivers, that match seems unlikely. If the Cowboys get rid of Terrell Owens at season's end, there's an outside chance they'd take a look at Moss.

Yeah really. Why steal the thunder from Vick. With Moss or TO around, Vick's flipping off the home fans wouldn't get any ink.
 
I'm not sure if NE would actually do it. Just a fantasy of mine.

And I think Moss' value goes up significantly with any kind of team change.

 
He just doesn't seem to fit in with the "team player" mentality of NE. I can't see it. Not while Bill is there.

 
The more obvious answer - Moss goes to a team that is desperate enough to pay for the potential big play maker while turning an eye to his antics. Plus has the cap room.

My predictions:

Jags - sagging attendance, history of failed #1 WR picks. Will Moss want to go to this 2nd tier city though?

AZ - new stadium, but franchise is still the graveyard for washed up stars; Bidwell also known for dumb moves like this.

HOU - panic move for big market franchise that's shown little in half a decade. To go with new QB.

WASH - because you know this move is INEVITABLE. Lloyd gets flushed to leave you with 2 Mosses and an El.

This has Dallas written all over it. Jerry Jones has been kicking himself ever since he passed on Moss at #8 overall and drafted Greg Ellis. Jones had just come off the Michael Irvin cocaine debacle and felt Moss was too big of a risk. Then he watched Moss dominate the league and Dallas every time they played (3 TD's in one game I think in Dallas). With all of the controversy surrounding TO, I would not be surprised if Dallas parted ways with TO (TO's 3 year deal was essentially 3 one-year deals, so it's easy to cut him) and Jerry called his buddy Al Davis and worked out a trade. Jerry is the one owner crazy enough and ego-maniacal enough to replace TO with Moss. He just loves the Cowboys being in the limelight, good or bad. And he knows the Cowboys need a threat at WR to go all the way. Just my thought.

Same was said about Corey Dillon
I think these are two very different examples. Dillon was brought in under reasonable financial terms. He performed and wasn't a problem, and he was given a new contract. I don't see Moss doing this.
I also think Dillon really only had one year of being considered disgruntled (Lewis' 1st year?). Prior to that, Dillon carried that team and even signed a 2nd contract with them when he could've waited 1 season and been a FA. I don't remember Dillon have legal/drug/vehicle assault issues prior to this one part of his carreer. I could be wrong though.Moss just keeps on building onto his foundation of character issues and doesn't seem to care that he is doing so.Dillon at least defended himself and had several supporters to his character and his just not handling the situation correctly with Lewis (who knows, maybe Dillon didn't want to hang out in the penetentiary that Lewis was starting to build). I can't see Moss in NE. ATLPhiliThose are my personal top two candidates. They both need recievers and the cap seems friendly enough, especially for Phili.
 
Why would any team want that worthless, past-his-prime, quitter? I wouldn't touch the guy. He's no longer a good WR because he completely does not care. At least TO was still productive despite his antics.

 
At some point people have to realize the dynamic all-world Randy Moss we saw is gone. He's just not that good anymore even when he is "healthy". He has chronic injuries that have really changed his game, and not for the better.

This is old news. Randy Moss mailed in the entire season. :bag:

Just last year he had 1000+ yards and 8 TDs. That entire offense sucks this year including the QB play, so I wouldn't write him off just yet because of ONE bad season.

What chronic injury?
maybe he meant THE chronic
:lmao: If there was ever a player who didn't deserve to play in the NFL, it's this waste of oxygen. It completely disgusts me that this loser has ever had a chance to play in the NFL. It's such a privelage to be able to play football for a living and make that type of money on top of it. I really really dislike that guy. :lmao:
 
I would love it if the Bears got him. The man can play..... extend Lance Briggs, trade for Moss and then pick best player available at every draft slot available

Oh, and show up next year to cruise to the SB :lmao:

 
Don't really understand the Dallas predictions at all. If they cut ties with TO why in the world would they bring in another headcase? Just doesn't make sense to me. I would think their goal would be to avoid similar problems in the future not trade one problem for another.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I simply disagree with this. I won't disagree it has appeared he has mailed in his season this year in Oakland, but come on, when Davis hired Shell, he mailed in the season too. Moss isn't the only one in Oakland to have quit on that team this year.Moss also does a bunch of charity work that he gets no press for because of his media reputation. That's fine, because a large part of his reputation is well deserves, and he has to sleep in the bed that he made, but to think that Moss is actually as bad as the media plays him up to be is innacurate.

I'm speaking of purely on the field. I know nothing about the guy off the field nor have I ever claimed I did. He may be a great guy off the field. My point is that he's mailing it in and basically admitting to it also. I'm no ones judge but in the realm of pro football, that's unacceptable to me. The fact that others may have mailed it in makes them no different than Moss. However, that doesn't give Moss the right to give up just because some others around him appeared to have given up also. It's an embarrassment imo.I would also disagree that Al Davis has ever mailed it in. The guy has always wanted to win. There's no denying that. How successful he's been at it is debatable.

As a lifetime Bears fan, there probably isn't one player I dislike more than Brett Favre. He has beat up on the Bears for years. At the same time, there also isn't a player I've ever had more respect for than Brett Favre. His passion and love of the game is something I greatly admire. If only a lot of these other guys would even come close to following his example, the greatest sport in the world would be even better. When it comes to football, guys like Moss digust me. That's just how I feel.

:pickle: Bringing in Moss is probably the one move that could keep Parcells from returning next year.

Fair enough. I assumed you were include off field actions since you were replying to a series of pot jokes.And as far as Davis always wanted to win, that may be. But in my mind that doesn't excuse the idiotic things he's done. He's reached the point of being an embarassment and deserves to be put on the same level as Moss, IMO.

 
ATLPhiliThose are my personal top two candidates. They both need recievers and the cap seems friendly enough, especially for Phili.
Absolutely wrong in Philly's case. No way Reid allows Moss on his team after what he went through with TO. And assuming we re-sign Stallworth, we're fine at WR. Brown has developed quite nicely this year.

Nah. I just thought it was funny.

I need you to think of this. The Raiders D is damn good. Thanks to Al.The Raiders Offense has drafted two top O-lineman that have panned out to be worthless, brought in what was a top 3 WR, a top RB in the making and the best FA QB's (stat wise) he could in Collins and Brooks. Al has never been conservative in his spending or his attempts at making a winning team. If Gallery was 70% of what he was supposed to be and Moss was 70% of what he used to be, Al would have one heck of a team going right now.

Al is losing some of his touch, but he is not by any means giving up and being an embarassment.

You can google it if you want, Al made one of the biggest impacts in the strike being averted this off season and he was given BIG time credit from those involved.

Al has his problems, and I agree with alot of them. To call him an emabarassment and to put him on the same level as Moss is absolutely lucidrous.

 
ATLPhiliThose are my personal top two candidates. They both need recievers and the cap seems friendly enough, especially for Phili.
Absolutely wrong in Atlanta's case.Art Blank has emphatically stated that Randy Moss will never be allowed to disgrace a Falcons uniform.
 
Reports are that the Raiders only want a 3rd round pick for him. Still might be hard to find too many takers with his current contract and awfulness with the Raiders.
