"Oakland Raiders wide receiver Randy Moss may be traded somewhere before dinner time, but it won't be to the New England Patriots."

 

[Phokus]

"But a league source just told NBCSports.com that Bill Belichick's press conference comment that, "I wouldn't say that we're actively trying to do anything," still stands."

That doesn't sound THAT much of an affirmation that we're not getting moss... belichick could be playing coy.

I knew it wasn't going to happen, but still

 

[Alk]

Just more speculation. That's cool.

 

[workhorse]

Ya, but it doesn't eliminate the deal that patchick put forward...

That deal could very well be alive and kicking. I could also be BB posing as a Colts' fan to yank all your chains on this message board for the past couple of seasons.

How quickly people dismiss our old previous favorite - he still has his sources in NE, I am sure.

 

[SeanBruschi54]

Well thats that.

(((wipes hands clean)))

Well here's hoping that Tom is no more connected now than when he was with projo.

Doesn't sound that convincing to me.

I think the Patriot way is to appear uninterested, to wait till most of the other offers from teams have been tabled and only then enter with a bid. I say they're still in the running, but it depends on what Oakland wants, and what other teams might be offering.

Even if we entered the best and or only bid what makes you think the Raiders would just take it?

I can't believe so many of you are writing this off due to this article.

But a league source just told NBCSports.com that Bill Belichick's press conference comment that, "I wouldn't say that we're actively trying to do anything," still stands.

That is the best he had and I heard about that press conference yesterday.

Is it still possible? I suppose.

But honestly nothing is going to happen. If it does then it would have to be soon. Teams dont go all the way to the trade deadline in the NFL like they do in baseball and basketball.

My reading of that is that he worded it badly, meaning that his "league source" said they aren't actively trying to do anything. As opposed to just meaning that's the last quote they heard.

NO MOSS IN NEW ENGLAND

As Tom Curran of NBCSports.com reports, and as we separately have confirmed, the Oakland Raiders won't be trading receiver Randy Moss to the New England Patriots.

Although a league source with knowledge of the situation in Oakland tells us that a last-minute trade of Moss hasn't been ruled out, an industry insider explained to us on Tuesday morning that owner Al Davis is unwilling to acknowledge that his team is bad, and is likewise unwilling to concede that point to the rest of the world by trading the previously perennial Pro Bowler.

But there definitely was increased talk in league circles about a deal getting done, and a move to New England would have made sense. Still, Davis is the guy with the final say, and if he's not willing to do it, it isn't going to happen.

Just updated on PFT.

 

[Hawg 73]

I'm sure he is right. Although the thought of Brady throwing to Moss is downright scary!!!!

 

[brdmaverick]

damn that sucks

 

[JR4]

Apparently it is Al Davis that is the problem. Article ( link below) says
he doesn't think his team is bad and wont admit it and a trade of Moss
would tell world he thinks his team is bad.

Imagine for a second the poor bastards that may be traded to Oakland, from N.E., or any other team. As for the Raiders, how could they improve anyway, since any players they do get probably catch the don't care, I'm in football limbo flu right away. Lose-lose for Oakland (until Davis and poor Art Shell move on).

That's ok. Who needs Moss when we have Caldwell? (yuck).

Did you read what PFT wrote? AL DAVIS is the problem. And yet another example of the current trend to lay the blame (regardless of the information we are given) at the feet of the Patriots.

And if Caldwell was enough they wouldn't have traded for Gabriel or signed Gaffney but why bother with facts, when we can continue to ***** about how BB and Pioli run the organization!
