Because of the press conference?
I just don't know what to say. What a wacky year it's been.
Hopefully he joins up with Philly. Has a decent year, signs there for the rest of his career and ends on a good note.

How does the waiver process work for something like this?

Teams can put in the claim, the team who claims him and has the worst record wins the claim. The Vikings pay his salary for the rest of the year.

Yeah waiver process confuses me as well, if the bills claim him, does he have to join buffalo? That'd suck for Randy.

Yes. Unless he just wants to sit out for the year I guess.

Well that sucks for Randy then.
A listof the teams records
http://www.nfl.com/standings?category=l ... it=OverallI can't see the worst 4 signing him, but maybe Denver? Moss set records with McDaniels offense. But they seem set at WR.

I thought the Vikings only have to pay if no team claims him & he becomes a free agent. If a team claims him then they're on the hook for the rest of his salary this year.

Saints Saints Saints!
I don't think any team is going to claim him unless he says he'll play for them. It's not like they can claim him and trade him next year.

If Moss isn't claimed he will be free to sign with any team. Any team claiming Moss on waivers would owe him nine game checks (out of 16) of his $6.4 million base salary.

Got to think the Jets will claim him just to block the pats bid.

FWIW, From Jason LaConfora's twitter
Texting with a few general managers in Randy Moss - several believe he ends up back with the Patriots.
