Reading this on rotoworld per NFL.com (Link)
NFL Network's Adam Schefter believes the Bills will be willing to part ways with Willis McGahee in exchange for a first-day pick.
Since coach **** Jauron admitted he was on the market on Tuesday, there have been whispers that Buffalo would trade McGahee for a third-round selection. The Bills don't have any realistic replacements on their current roster, so they'd need to sign or draft their next starting tailback.
If this is true - as a Packer fan... I would MUCH rather see TT give up a 3rd for McGahee than a washed-up R Moss!

Great f###ing movie and nice analogy.Like when Patrick Bateman tried to call in a reservation at Dorsia.

This is some strong info buddy, Willis on the packers for a third rounder is fantastic! Ya Ya I know, injury prone and a under achiever! Blah Blah lets pull the trigger Ted, stat!
Come on Dodge, I know you have something to say about this!!!

I think the Packers should get both Moss & McGahee.

You think Favre would suddenly forget he has Donald Driver?

No kidding. #### Randy Moss, let him rot somewhere else. Merrill Hoge made a good point. Green Bay is the youngest team in the NFL and do you really want those young players seeing a guy like Moss strutting around the complex? No way. I'll take Brett, William Henderson, Donald Driver and Al Harris as my role models thanks!.

If the Raiders actually do trade Moss, I think that would bode well for any rookie quarterback the may draft.Also, if Moss played for the Packers, Donald Driver would have an awesome season.

Na. Keep him for at least 1 season. Thats great you have role models, but how about winning more games? DD, Favre and Green are getting older, how about igniting a match to the team. He seems unmotivated because most would be on the Raiders. They were the laughing stock of the NFL last year and their QB was sacked before he even saw 18. He has talent left, and I certainly believe he will not be a cancer to a team. Especially one with Brett Favre.Favre + DD + Moss =
. If Moss isn't there, its probably another season with no playoffs. Take your pick.

ESPN SC has something coming in a few minutes about Favre and a new WR...anyone catch the earlier shows on who it is?
Eh, just report that the Packers have interest in Randy Moss
Per John Clayton
1. GB interested
2. Moss interested enough to restructure his contract
3. Trade that is unlikely to happen

Or is it the thought of Moss burning Sharper killing you?
Stop it! You guys are killing me!

I understand the point you are making, but that really is not a response to me. I was questioning Challenge's statement that Moss is a better teammate than other prospective targets. How Andre Rison worked out 10 years ago has absolutely no relevance.

Lets face it, Favre likes to throw deep, and Moss would be his main target on deep routes.

hearing ESPN re-package and replay this same story as though it's new every day for the next 6 weeks is going to be awesome!

I think giving $17 million dollars against the cap to two Raiders cast-offs if a genius move. Woodson, then Moss. Next year they can get LaMont Jordan and then Jerry Porter, then Sabastian Janikowski...TALENT BABY!!! The Packers would be STACKED!

Where there is smoke there is fire. Whether ESPN says this is going to happen or not, it is definitely a discussion that is happening between both teams. Moss has already agreed to re-structure which means he was contacted by the Raiders about the possibilty, as this is one of the major stipulations in a move. I don't think it will be for Rodgers. I could see a 2nd rounder or a 3rd rounder and a player. There are only 2 real suitors for Moss (GB and Jax). It is a buyer's market if Davis wants to move him.

Charles Woodson was a borderline Pro-Bowler for the Packers last season.Maybe, just maybe, the Raiders organization doesn't get the most out of their players.

And I'd like to see him moon the Metrodump.... :(Why would it sicken you? I'd love to see him poison that locker room.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.

Umm those aren't terrible players you just mentioned. Players with talent in a bad organization.
Tough As Nails
Glave Master
Agreed. They aren't terrible players. That's why the first thing I mentioned was the money. I don't think spending that kind of money on guys like that (injury problems, desire questions, off-field problems) is a smart move at all.

personally, I think he needs to get back in purple gear, wear he belongs as soon as possible!!

I wonder if Thompson is looking for Moss to sign a contract similar to A. Green's last year. Incentive based but a contract that could be worth much more than market value if he performs and stays in line. I could see something like this and Moss staying in line. Moss, for as much bad press there has been about him is a football player that does play to win. When he does not he speaks up about it but not in the way other figures choose to do it.
Why would Moss do this, he is due 9 or 10 million next year.
Why would anyone trade for him, Oakland can't afford to keep him and will cut him.

True but McCarthy brought back more of a true west coast offense whereas 70% of the passes are short to medium range. That's the area of the field that Driver excels at. Driver's numbers would explode if the Packers had a WR like Moss to stretch the defense out and open up the middle for him.

McCarthey also didn't have a WR that could stretch the field last season. Hard to call many deep routes when the wideouts can't get behind the defense.

Randy Moss-WR- Raiders Mar. 4 - 11:57 am et
The Raiders continue to talk to the Packers about a possible trade involving Randy Moss, according to Profootballtalk.com.
Discussions were on hold while Oakland was speaking with Jeff Garcia but now have picked back up. The Raiders are believed to have already offered 2005 first-rounder Aaron Rodgers in exchange for the Mossman.

True but Favre gets tired of the dink and dunk and goes very long on occassion. He did it to both Driver and Jennings last season.

If this is true, TT better pull the trigger. This would be a great trade for Green Bay.JohnnyU said:

I realize that but McCarthy offense is not a vertical offense where they will be constantly throwing the ball deep. Even with Moss in the fold their offense won't throw the ball deep nearly as much as they did under Sherman.
I can't find the link for this- but I read this a few days ago saying that it was a counter to Oakland's offer of an 08 first for Moss. It supposedly was not something that Oakland was interested in.

It's possible that Moss realized he has a ton of money, but he's got a bad rep and he's never played for a winner. He's also arguably never played with a stud quarterback. And if he took a pay cut to go to Green Bay and somehow Favre got to go out on top, he'd go from zero to hero. Most players will still take the money when all is said and done, but Moss is a little nutty, he's a huge contract enough that he might be willing to trade money for a chance to win, and he's got to realize that he's not going to see the end of his current contract if he doesn't turn things around soon.

If this happens I think it's ironic that Buff went out on a limb to draft him as an injury risk in the first round hoping to avoid cintract issues with Henry and now they might only get a 3rd for him. Amazing.This is some strong info buddy, Willis on the packers for a third rounder is fantastic! Ya Ya I know, injury prone and a under achiever! Blah Blah lets pull the trigger Ted, stat!

Wrong.Culpeppers '03 numbers: 295 of 454, 3479 yards, 25 TDs and 11 picks.Pep's '04 numbers: 379 of 548, 4717 yards, 39 TDs and 11 picks.Daunte would have an MVP award in his closet of Peyton didn't break the record in 2004. Just because he went to #### once Randy left doesn't mean he wasn't stud while Randy was there.

Why on Earth would the Packers want to trade for McGahee when they can draft Lynch in the 1st round?
Or even Bush in the second?
This makes zero sense.
The Moss trade makes sense. Think about who defenses would double team - Moss or Driver? Run Moss and Jennings wide, put Driver in the slot, and then in October you throw in Robinson and run 4 wide. Hell, you could put my daughter in at halfback and she could average 4 YPC with the holes she'd be seeing.
McGahee. Hurmph.
