Lombardi: Randy Moss waived by Vikings [mergedx19]

Re: Moss not "officially" waived

Monday's waiver list was sent out to authorized personal and Moss was not on it. NFLN is reporting.

Can moss simply say no to teams that want him or not?

Sure, if he doesnt want to play or get paid.

Minni is very much a zoo. Ever since Ziggy bought the team, it's been headed into the Twilight Zone.

You couldn't intentionally write this sort of a script, but now that it's playing out, it might make a great football movie.

But.... The Tower of Terror goes up and I thought the Vikes were going straight down w/ no up at all.

Vikes and Chilly

Re: Moss not "officially" waived

I wouldn't be surprised if he's not waived, but Childress is fired.

Re: Moss not "officially" waived

This situation is beginning to resemble when Ron Meyer fired Rod Rust in 1984 only for Meyer to get fired the next day.

Re: Moss not "officially" waived

You'll only get this if you are older.

Bett Favre has visited Mr. Roarke on the island (not Revis) and he doesn't feel like he's living the dream unless he gets to play football (while healthy) with Randy Moss. That would make Brad Childress Tatoo in this scene

If Moss gets picked up by one of the Pats upcoming opponents, would he be the first player to ever play for a team and then play against that team on two different teams in the same year?

I would like to know this too.



And looks like the ship is on fire:

Vikings players were “strongly, strongly opposed” to Moss’ release, according to Glazer.

OOOOH thats a good one, i forgot about that.

I am surprised New Orleans hasn't been mentioned much in the Moss sweepstakes. You got the 2nd best coach in football, and a top5 qb and a great southern home fan base which could appeal to Moss.

I'd agree with you if Parcells was still there in an active role. But he's not. I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I don't think either the Jets or Phins will get Randy.

I can't see him going to the Jets either. Even after yesterday's shut-out loss, I think the Jets have to still consider themselves strong favorites to make the post-season, and ultimately won't consider Moss worth the risk of upsetting the apple cart. No point in potentially disrupting Sanchez's development by forcing him to assimilate a new receiver into the offense on the fly, as well as deal with the added pressure of needing to keep Moss happy or get thrown under the bus in the post-game presser. Furthermore, Moss would make Edwards somewhat redundant, and thus risk alienating a receiver they have more invested in long-term.

I don't think the Dolphins have as much to lose: I don't think they're really concerned with nurturing Henne, and I think they know they're not quite playoff caliber as constituted.

great tweet by Simmons. if the Pats sign him the head line would be:
"Pats trade Randy Moss to Minnesota for a 3rd pick and Randy Moss"

I found this out while I was at work!

Great choice by Vikings

When will Randy Moss ask Randy Moss any questions?

Marques Colston, Robert Meachem, Lance Moore, and Devery Henderson say "please no".

The Vikings fans seem to be a tad upset with their coach.

I really couldnt disagree more.
There is a thin line between Miami and the Jets so far this year, as thin as Miami was knocking on the door to tie the game v the Jets which is why the Jets are 1 game ahead. (or the correct call vs Pitt)
Henne is as much a part of Miami's future as Sanchez is in NJ, with equal chances to bust.
The Jets have zero invested long term in Edwards, he (and Holmes too) is a UFA after this year, and Brandon Marshall wont be the most likely to be alienated by losing touches.

Re: Moss not "officially" waived

The Favre factor, Green Bay finally dumped him ...
-- Jest: Bye bye Mangini.
-- Minny: Chillyed out.
-- Next?

"Please send this team to LA

I can't take this anymore!"

I think Moss passes through waivers and then the Pats sign him out of free agency. At least that's what I hope will happen.
