doesnt have to mean its the truth but why hide a trade really? your 0-5. oh well. i knew Moss would be extremely hard to get b.c his contract backload but JP..well Raiders suck

thanks god! As a Broncos fan I would hate to see Randy Moss get traded to Pats

While the Raiders aren't known for good moves, keeping Moss for now is a good move.

If they are going to deal him, they don't want to do it when his value is at its lowest and the market is limited. In the offseason there will be more competition for his services and that would mean better compensation.

how can a trade which never existed anywhere but in the imaginations of bored people be dead? it wasn't alive in the first place, and official word from Mortensen won't be enough to quash the crazies

There is a football game both on and off the field.
Getting Gabriel for a 5th was a win.
Trading Branch for a 1st round pick was a win.
Trading Gorin for a pick was a win.
Getting 4 CPs in 07 was 4 wins.
Resigning Seymour and Koppen were 2 wins.

Basically the Pats will continue making winning moves off the field.
Frankly it looks more likely for us to pick up a DB before the trade deadline,
but I have confidence that any move by our front office will likely be very good. The way I see it we have tons of ammunition to bring in new talent if the value is good.

Ok, now i am officially "nervous" about us getting Moss. With all the rumors circulating, nothing would happen--but now????

Obviously this won't put the trade aspirations to bed, but what do the Raiders have to gain in hiding the trade? They're 0-5.

Moss would be tough to trade anyway because of his backloaded contract.
