I am relieved, if only because we won't have to hear about Moss becoming a Patriot every three days.

Re: NFL.com: Raiders agree to send WR Moss to Patriots

exactley...........but one has to wonder. how many wideouts can they possibly have on a roster.

overview:
1- MOSS
2- STALLWORTH
3- CALDWELL
4- WELKER
5- BROWN
6-WASHINGTON
7- CHILDRESS/KIGHT/JACKSON(later in year)/ETC.

You missed Jabar Gaffney.

I don't think he makes it out of training camp. Both he and Chad Jackson will be cut...

Wow!!

Re: NFL.com: Raiders agree to send WR Moss to Patriots [merged]

Just came up as breaking news on SportsCenter.

Mortensen says it's for the 127th overall pick, which is NOT the 110 pick the Pats got yesterday from the 49ers.

Hopefully it is #127, that would be sweet

Re: NFL.com: Raiders agree to send WR Moss to Patriots [merged]

For those people who think we are having a weak draft, we are "drafting" merriweather in the 1st, Welker in the 2nd, and Moss in the 4th. Not bad.

I love the Moss deal at reduced money and if the Pats are willing to pull the trigger if he acts out. Downside is a 4th rounder? Check back on 4th rounders and see where they are now and how many have panned out.

I do not think the Pats are likely to be distracted by antics.

The way I see it, if there's a 1/3 chance that he is everything he could be, and a 2/3 chance he's a bust, it's a good deal.

I'm stoked.

Re: NFL.com: Raiders agree to send WR Moss to Patriots [merged]

randy moss is a good player but can he pick up our system and run routes etc. ? unlike most teams our system has given fits to a lot for some reason . We are not a "throw the ball deep and make big plays" team usually and route running is a big factor.

It has to be 110. The Pats do not need to be that greedy.

OVA!

This offense if it stays healthy is unstoppable. I am sorry, but not even McDaniels can kill this offense.

Wow!!

Maybe to early to cut Jackson? Maybe PUP for next year?
I think the kid can still play and has too much talent to give up on so quickly. Stallworth and Washington "could" be one year deals.

Re: NFL.com: Raiders agree to send WR Moss to Patriots [merged]

According to the ESPN bottom draft ticker, Oakland picks 127 and we still have 110.

Re: NFL.com: Raiders agree to send WR Moss to Patriots [merged]

It is a good pick up for the price as long as he structures, but we can't expect that Moss is that 1400 yard WR anymore. We can kid ourselves and just blame the situation with the Raiders, but it has been three years since he was anything other than an average WR. We didn't get Moss for a late fourth round pick because everyone believes he is still an elite WR who was in a bad situation.

He is a good pick up because we gave up a low fourth rounder in a bad draft to take a risk that he can recapture at least a part of his last glory, but I would be shocked if he got more than 1,000 yards this season especially in our offense where Brady spreads the ball around.

They don't throw the ball deep that much because in general they haven't had go deep receivers. I seem to remember an AFC Championship game where Deion Branch had a big early deep TD. They'll go deep. Just because the Pats throw a lot of screen passes doesn't mean that they can't throw it deep.

Hopefully Moss has reached the point in his career where he no longer cares about yards and just wants to win. If thats the case then he will be GREAT with us.

Absolutely. The good news is that he doesn't have to be the Moss of old. If he can pull in 700-800 yards and attract away some of the defense's attention, that is a STEAL for a 4th-round pick.
