Latest Moss Rumor

That trade, yes. I'd give them two first rounders, next year's 3rd, and LeMarr Marshall.

Moss is not as bad as people make him out to be. The NFL tends to vilanize anyone who has a personality. Yet a jenuine criminal like Ray Lewis is somehow a poster boy for the NFL. If you are going to criticise Moss at all it should be for his tendancy to take a play off here or there, but all this other stuff is just nonsense.

As for the trade, I think the Raiders are obviously a great place for him to end up since they tend to accept flamboint players out there more than most NFL cities do. I think the trade was fair also. A starting player and a high draft pick is about his worth. Much more in line with that rediculous Redskins rumor.

Moss playing for Norv Turner equals one thing...100% disaster in every way. Norv is about the nicest guy I have ever met(I coached baseball in his son's baseball league 5 or 6 years ago and he was a great guy and did a lot for the league when he didn't have to. He also came to all of his kids games) but he couldn't even manage a team with the likes of Darrell Green and Brian Mitchell. We're talkign about a team full of consumate professionals and all we ever heard about was how nobdy respected him and how he had lost control. Now they're going to trade for Moss....Jeez Al Davis is stupid...no wonder they haven't done s*&% in years.

I agree that Randy Moss and Norv Turner is a marriage made in Hell. Norv is not a disciplinarian and never will be. Then again, who's to say that Al Davis is going to keep Norv around. It's not like Davis is any stranger to "changing coaches".

Phillip Buchanon is no treat either. He is unhappy with his contract and wants it re-done. Davis said no way so Buchanon said he wants out of Oakland and threatened not to participate in the off-season "voluntary" programs. Buchanon gets beat deep and that is what you do not want your CBs to do. Even with a perfect attitude, I'd look around to see if there were other options before bringing him on; with his braggadocio and inflated view of his on-field productivity, I'd forget to return any calls from him or his agent.

There's no way I'd want to give up multiple picks and players for Moss, just too steep of a price to pay IMO.

For a proven player? I would in a second. I'm hoping next years first will be closer to a 2nd than a first =p

i'll give them smoot, gardner and this years 3rd pick for moss but thats it. unless smoot becomes reasonable in his contract negotiations then i say keep smoot and give them bowen, gardner and next years #1 pick

they'd never take a 3rd rounder for Moss.

thats why i added smoot and gardner. smoot, gardner and a 1st would be to much.

I don't think we can trade Smoot since he's gonna be a FA. We gotta have him under contract in order to trade him.
