Rumored Discussion on WEEI Moss To The PUP List..... (1 Viewer)

[BackfromtheDead]

Listening to WEEI radio the official radio network for the Patriots and they just finished discussing the possiblilty of MOSS starting the season on the unable to perform list and will be back in Week 7. Sources have said BB is considering this with the significant depth they have at WR and they don't want to bring Moss back to soon causing him to be lost for the year. Patriots will make an announcement at 3:30 when they announce there final cuts. See you for the stretch drive.

sounds like it is speculation unless I am reading the article wrong - no announcement or confirmation yet - I would change the thread title

!1

big news though - thanks for the heads up

if true - what would be the ramifications - obviously moss down; brady down a bit? Welker up big?

 

[n8wood]

I don't think they can put him on PUP, he's already practiced this year.

Misleading title. This is not true, nor will it happen.

Since you said they are discussing the possibility, you should put a question mark in the title, at least until it is official.

MISLEADING TITLE - PLEASE EDIT.

Sorry how do I put speculation or rumored on the title

 

[BackfromtheDead]

Well remember this before everybody gets hot and heated. 1. WEEI is the home network for the Patriots; and there was a discussion by the Radio DJ's about Moss possibly going on the PUP list. 2. I never said it was a fact and nobody in the Patriot organization said it was a fact. 3 The DJ's are just speculating since Moss's hammy is bad and not healed and he has not practiced for a month.

Nobody said it's happening it was a scenario the on-air personalities laid out due to there depth at WR

I can't find anything to support this happening. Link to supporting information?

I understand the bolded part, but just for future reference, put something in the title that states it is a rumor, unless it is official. We appreciate any threads like this. But rumors and facts have to be differentiated. This was important enough to post however.

Thanks for the info.

 

[BackfromtheDead]

I googled the definition and in fact since he has already practiced he cannot go on the PUP List since he has been on the active roster. The on-air people were speculating at what position they would take with Moss since he hasn't been practicing for a month.

 

[BackfromtheDead]

Turn the radio on and put it on WEEI that is what I was listening to.

#1 WEEI is not the home network for the Pats, the home network for the Pats is WBCN 104.1#2 These "DJ's" you are taking about are a two azzclowns, Mustard and Johnson? One of them a freaking schoolteacher and the other is a plagarizing cartoonist.I'd take anything these 2 nitwits say with a grain of salt

Trust me, I have been listening to the station for yearsThose 2 are by far the worst of the bunch on WEEI

 

[JHuber77]

who cares? Moss will be a big bust like last year anyways. Only the people who drafted Moss should be reading this thread (My condolences).

Given all the false reports about KJ going on PUP I agree. Put a question mark in title. Incidentally, the fact that he has practiced in preseason does NOT prevent him from going on regular season PUP. There are two different PUPs: preseason and regular season. The preseason one a player can come off at anytime; the regular season once on a player must sit out first six games.

that's what i thought too.i think pup might be likely considering the thread that states they are considering cutting him.

 

[Wolfpacker]

Sounds like they're trying to down-grade the Patriots WRs so when New England goes to the playoffs all their homers can say how great Brady is because he wins without decent WRs...and if they don't make it, it's Randy Moss' fault. Never get tired of hearing that one.

fwiw, profootballtalk has a rumor about moss possibly being cut.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm

about 5 rumors down at the time of this posting.

As a Raiders fan, and having seen Moss the last 2 years, I wouldn't be surprised by this at all.

The dude has a massive attitude problem and now he no longer has the talent to make up for it.

Fixed, although at this point a player would indeed miss six games. If he was put on PUP last week, they could be back week 5.

http://www.nflgridirongab.com/2007/09/01/s...be-in-jeopardy/Could Patriots wide out Randy Moss possibly not even make the teams roster? It may sound crazy, but sources are saying that the Pats are actually considering releasing Moss, even before he plays a down in New England. The amazing thing is while Moss has forever had to answer questions about his attitude and his off the field behavior, this time his release might be due to something physical, as his hamstring has forced him to miss quite a bit of time as of late. The thing that the Pats have to consider is that he is worth $2.5 mil on this seasons roster if he is on the team opening day, and of course that would be money that New England could use elsewhere if Moss is not on the team.

It did not say rumored when originally posted. It has since been changed.

Players on PUP can't play in week 5 no matter when they are put there. The regular season PUP clock starts in week 1, not when they choose to put him there.

Time to finally put a stop the talk that Moss will be a WR1 again... even if he makes the final roster, unless this is total BS, it shows the Pats regard for Moss and the prominence of their plans for him. That they would even consider this is a sign that the Pats got the Oakland Moss, not the Minnesota Moss.

That's only IF the Patriots actually considered this, not just an unfounded rumor.

 

[fflnut]

It'll be interesting to see where he goes if he is indeed cut. I can see that firing him up and trying to make a point of showing the Pats what they missed.

If the chance to play on the best team in football this decade and odds on favorite to win the SB doesn't fire him up, I don't know what will.

 

[menobrown]

I actually drafted Moss last week so I wish this rumor was bogus but I think it has legs. I wish I read his agents comments before I drafted him but I did not like the wording his agent used when he said "it was in the realm of possiblity" Randy would play in the opener. Me bagging a super model or winning the lottery is "in the realm of possibility" but I don't like my chances.

If he's anything less than 100% putting him on the PUP makes to much sense and cutting him makes sense if Moss bristles at the idea of being put on the PUP.

Now, if the Pats cut Moss all is not lost if you drafted him. In fact, if he can get healthy in a few weeks, it could work out better if he lands on a team that would make him more of a feature target.

Agreed - i did say "unless this is total BS". If it's multiple outlets picking up one bunk rumor, then move along, nothing to see here, but if all of these outlets are getting this word from different sources across the organization, then it looks like Randy is in trouble.

The preseason one a player can come off at anytime; the regular season once on a player must sit out first six games.

If you have practiced at all during the pre-season, you cannot be on the regular season PUP list. Here is a link from nflplayers.com:http://tinyurl.com/2×5upg

“Players can only be put on the PUP list before the first practice of training camp. If they are not removed from it before the final roster cutdown to 53 players on Sept. 2, they must stay on it for the first six weeks of the season. At any time during Weeks 7-10, they can be activated or work out with the team.

After the first 10 weeks of the season, they must be activated, waived or placed on injured reserve, requiring them to miss the rest of the season.

Any of the PUP players can be taken off the list in training camp once they’re ready to practice.”

If you look, you will notice that the Patriots on the current PUP list have been there since the beginning of camp. If players who had practiced were eligible for the PUP, Richardson would have been put there on the off chance that he could play by week 10.
