R. Moss - to Packers for a draft pick ! (1 Viewer)

Apparently accordign to a radio show B. Favre is going to come back IF The packers go after Randy Moss and get him to line up next to Driver. Apparently Moss and Favre actually have a good relationship and would work well together. This makes 2 times now I have heard this rumor talked abut locally in the media. The draft pick they were saying to give up for Moss would be a 2 or 3 - Not really certain All gives him up that cheap !

If I were the packers though I would be going after Freeney,Thomas,Briggs , and Clements on Defense not trying to add a malcontent WR who has sucked 2 straight years. :no:

 
Would be a terrible move for the Packers. They aren't just giving up a draft pick...they would be giving up a draft pick and like 9 million in cap space. I would call Randy Moss one of the worst values in the NFL at this point. Favre, Moss and Woodson taking 20 million of the cap? NOT the way to build a championship.

 
I would love to see this happen. I have very fond memories of the last time the Packers brought in a big name malcontent washed up WR.

His name was Andre Rison. He saved our SB season.

 
As a Packer fan I can say that when they brought in Rison they had far more talent than the current roster. This would be a terrible move for a team that is not going to win a superbowl soon and needs to build with youth and players that do not have over inflated contracts.

So you're a big fan of Koren Robinson? :thumbup:
 
I would be shocked if this happens. Ted Turner loves his draft choices too much to part with them for Moss.

Koren Robinson was not good long enough to be considered washed up. He isnt really a malcontent either. He is in trouble with the law, but not with his coaches. Rison and Moss are a very similar comparison. Robinson is a reach.That being said I am happy to have Koren coming back for one reason. Favre liked him and stuck his neck out there in public for him.

I don't care about building a possible playoff team in three years. I dont care about the long haul. I dont think bringing Moss in puts them in any kind of cap hell. Having Favre have a magical run in his final season and then being bad for 3 years would be far more enjoyable for me than going 10-6 3 years in a row.

I say we go for it. Take chances. Gamble. By god it would be a lot of fun. Say what you want, but I watch for fun. Favre throwing 50 yard bombs to Moss would be fun.

Blasphemy. Football Jesus said that last years team had the most talent of any Packer team he's played on.Although looking back upon that preseason statement, he might be right. How else can a team with a QB that puts up a rating less than Rex Grossman sniff .500?
 
Few fans now the capabilities of a motivated Moss the way Packer fans do. Many of his best efforts as a Viking came at our expense. That said he is an unknown at this point as to how much ability he retains. What is known is that he intends to be expensive and can be a cancer. This is not a move I would like to see them make. They did a good job rebuilding last year and in being fiscally responsible. I want them to stick with that plan. Continue working on the defense and the o-line. Look for a T.E., think about the R.B. of the future and the Q.B. of the future.

If they are worried about getting the most out of Favre's remaining time one way to do that is to give him more weapons. The other way is to give him more opportunities by making more defensive stops to provide him with the ball, and by giving him a reliable T.E. that can convert 3rd downs keeping drives alive.

Championships are not built with Viking and Raider casts offs.

Grossman has done well. In only what, his third or fourth season, he finally has more wins at Soldier field than does Favre who only drops in to Favre Memorial Field Soldier Field once a year.
 
The pAckers seem to be good at getting mroons like Woodson and Robinson though. Good. They should just try to make a sick defense, the offense will always be Good Favre/Bad Favre.

True, but "Bad Favre" with Moss at WR could end up as a completion. Those jump balls that Brett likes to hurl occasionally could result in 80 yard TD's with Randy on the receiving end. With the cap increasing the Packers have more than enough room to accommodate the salary.

Yeah, the salary cap implications for 2007 are basically irrelevant. The bigger issue is that GB would want a contract that is cap-friendly for future years. In other words, you don't want to take a huge cap hit for cutting Moss in '08 if he bombs in '07.I'm not a big fan of Moss at this stage, but there is no doubt he'd be a huge addition to the offense. The man still has talent -- he's just stuck playing for the worst franchise in America.

The Packers (or any other team that would trade for Moss) would have little salary cap risk. The signing bonus hit would be taken by the Raiders. If the Packers decided to part ways with Moss after one year they would face zero cap hit and would gain increased cap flexibility due to Randy's salary coming off the books.
 
Great, Moss could moon Packer fans 8 times a season then. Oh wait, he'd have to score a TD to be in celebration mode. Nevermind.

 
Didn't he pretend to moon the fans there 2 years ago?
Didn't TO taught every Dallas fan with his tantics on the Dallas star?From what I understand Moss did that mooning due to a ritual the Green Bay fans did of mooning the Vikings team bus after every time they left Lambeau Field.Moss would be money playing with Favre.Do you think any deep wr coulod have done anything with the Raiders last year?I do however agree he did give up on them and that isn't the first Randy has done that but I do still think he has his skills...he just needs to be on a competitive team again to show them off.

Does anyone have some kind of link about anyone reporting this?
 
I doubt the Raiders are going to part with either Moss or Porter.
Any reasoning behind this?
I wish he was off-base, but there is definitely the idea in Raider land that Al will try and keep them here.Porter, for one, has always been a Davis favorite, and it's possible that Davis holds Shell responsible for that mess. No one really knows.Moss? Well, it's tough to see Davis givng up on a talent like that.I'd love to see them traded, if not cut outright, but I don't think it'll happen. I also think January trade rumors have no legs.
 
That would definately be ironic if Moss went to the Packers.

The Packers would get the WR that burned them for 6 years and the WR that caused them to waste how many picks on DBs looking for one that could stop him? :thumbup:

 
What happened to Gregg Jennings?

Obviously Moss is a great talent, but is he worth the hassle when frankly, they have other needs?

But, if King Brett says it, let his will be done.

People underestimate the amount of talent on the Packers roster. I think you confuse youth with talent. This is an extremly talented team just very green...

No way.. no how does Ted Thompson make a trade for Randy Moss.
Agreed. This is not his style at all. He values the draft way too much to waste a pick on a guy like Moss. Ain't gonna happen, and frankly, I wouldn't turn a Packer game on next season if it did.
You bet...he needs those draft picks to get his punter of the future!
 
I would love to see this happen. Of course, I was hoping the Packers would go after TO last year as well. Give Favre a target and only good things can happen. Hell, Moss made Culpepper/Cunningham look like NFL QB's... imagine what Favre to Moss would look like! A 3rd rounder is nothing if getting Moss.

 
You bet...he needs those draft picks to get his punter of the future!
No no, that was Mike Sherman. But thanks for the memories...As a Packer fan, i'd take him in a heartbeat. Moss isnt TO. Moss would be motivated to play with Brett, i have no doubt about that. I think he's a better guy than most people think. I'll give a guy a pass after playing with a team like the Raiders. He's the perfect receiver for a passer like Brett. And they have plenty of cap room.....

As already stated, wrong GM.Look no further than the last two years of all rookie selections for more info on what Thompson is about. He's not perfect, but he's building a solid young team through the draft.
 
I doubt Moss will end out in GB but if he does one thing you can count on is Favre will throw him the ball wether he is open or not.

I am not underestimating what Green Bay has for talent. I think they made great strides last season in bringing in some good young players and they were competitive with keeping guys like Favre and Green around but don't kid yourself, they are not nearly as talented as the Packer team that won the Superbowl against NE. I am saying the smart move for the organization is to continue to retool and not bring in Moss to see what he can do with Favre for a year.
 
Raiders | Packers interested in Moss?

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 07:18:56 -0800

Steve Corkran, of the Contra Costa Times, reports the Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders have discussed a possible trade scenario involving WR Randy Moss, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Packers would be interested in landing Moss if he agrees to restructure his contract. Moss is scheduled to earn a base salary of $9.75 million next season and $11.25 million in 2008, the final year of the eight-year, $75 million contract he signed with the Minnesota Vikings. The Raiders would free up roughly $8 million in cap room for 2007 should they trade Moss, even though they would absorb the remaining $4.04 million of Moss' signing bonus yet unaccounted for.

 
At first I thought this was just going to be an offseason rumor, but now its starting to heat up a little more. As a Moss Owner in two dynasty leagues, I'm :thumbup: . Favre to Moss = Moss #1 WR again.

 
the legs on this early rumor have been growing, but there is still a lot to be figured out before this trade can happen.

 
(FWIW)

Dan Patrick is reporting that once Moss restructures his contract he's headed to GB.

Source: My dad told me Patrick said it on his radio show today.

 
As a Viking fan, the thought of Moss donning the yellow and green sickens me. I don't even care that he was not the player he once was. :wall:

Another perspective.
I'm with Devil Dog on this one. If Favre is throwing to a revitalized Moss, it's at least 10 TD's.....easily.
