DW - Since you clearly just woke up and have missed some things (that can be the only explanation for your uninformed comments), Moss was not traded because of Bill O'Brien. Moss was traded because, week after week, he's been a detriment to the coaches.
Pre-Week1: Kick off dinner with Pats Sponsors. Moss is assigned to the Raytheon table. Moss leaves table, goes to corner, puts headphones on, and refuses to re-join table.
Week 1: National Anthem Antics in which the Patriots got a memo from the league. Interruption of the Special Teams Huddle while Scott O'Brien is trying to give last minute. Moss was supposedly caught on microphone saying the "N-word" to each of the players in the huddle. Post-Game Press Conference Appearance (Unscheduled).
Weeks 2/3: It hasn't come out yet, but supposedly, such things have continued.
Week 4: Altercation with Bill O'Brien at half-time. Supposed altercation with Teammates on the plane back.
Moss took issue with the Pats not wanting to give him an extension now and it seems that he was doing things to make the situation for the Pats coaching staff untenable.
Can't blame the Pats for trading him.
What are your sources for the first 2?
