Nothing really new here except some insider speculation. Hard to imagine this happening. No mention of the Steelers.

Just because we have an extra 1st round pick doesn't mean we're trading it.Jacky Roberts said:Pats have an extra first round pick to trade
Jacky Roberts said:It makes (almost) too much sense. Pats need a receiver, Moss wants to win, Pats have an extra first round pick to trade, the Pats have a ton of space under the cap, etc. I say do it.

Dillon cost a #2, that's what I'd pay for Moss. Another vet.
Stokes said:What part of his quote from last week about not really caring anymore leads you to believe he wants to win? How about the frequency with which he dogs it on his routes? Complains about getting the ball? Leaving the field early? I wouldn't put this guy on the team if the raiders gave him to us for nothing. All the talent in the world, absolutely no heart.

Seattle did it because they overreacted. Poor them. I'm not trading a #1 pick for an oldish player with a sizeable contract. First round picks are the best bargains if you hit on them and we've done that consistently since 2001.Jacky Roberts said:Seattle gave NE a first round pick because they thought Deion was the difference in getting them to the Super Bowl. In my opinion, Moss would offer NE the same thing. I dont think anyone can argue that Moss makes this offense a much more explosive unit. In the end, I'd take a Branch for Moss trade any day of the week.

Jacky Roberts said:You dont think having the chance to play with Brady/Belichick, etc would light a fire under this guy? I think it would.

Stokes said:I'd like to think it would, but given his track record of dogging it and generally being a nuisance, even on some successful Vikings teams, I just can't see it. Hey, if he were to come in and give 100% effort and keep his mouth shut he makes this a dominant offense, I just don't think its possible. The Moss Dillon comparison is off base I think since even though Corey was not a happy camper in Cincy, his effort was unquestioned. He was all out all the time for them, and simply couldn't take losing anymore. Moss is not that type of player.
