NFL Network Reports Randy Moss will be a Patriot

NOOOO! Adam Schefter reported that the Patriots have offered a 2nd day pick but Al Davis said no however the Patriots are a team he said that Randy Moss would restruture his contract for. He didnt mention any other teams.If true this sucks and is a horrible start to the weekend. He said Moss whole key is to win a superbowl and he thinks he can put the Pats back on top.

The game is afoot ...

Al Davis is trying to get a better pick for Moss ... OF COURSE he'll leak that the Patriots want Moss. It helps bump up the value for Moss. I still think the highest that Moss will command is a 3rd rounder.

Well, Moss reportedly said he wants to go a team that can win the super bowl and let's face it, Packers are not that team in 07.

I don't see how Schefter has sources that says Moss will only restructure with the Patriots?

I still hope Arrigo is right on again -

He did not say they are the ONLY team he would restructure for...and he did not say he WILL be a Patriot. He did imply that he thought they were the leader, for your above mentioned reasons.

Again?

He is throwing darts, hoping one sticks.

Yeah Im defintly hoping this one sticks. Hopefully like Reggie said Al Davis is just trying to leak some info to get a better pick. I still would give a 3rd for him

He broke Woodson last year and JW draft day trade.
I know he said they would resign Barnett, but I guess that isn't anything special.

I think 'again' is an appropriate term.

Well if this is true, SR, you seriously have some "restructuring" of your own to do, regarding the content of your post.

Woodson's signing was all over the media sites last year.
Barnett was obvious to anyone who follows the Packers.

That being said, I hope he has sources on this one.

THis is what he said...

NEW YORK (April 28, 2007) -- Oakland is sitting on two of the potentially biggest draft-day developments.

For starters, the Raiders have been calling New England, trying to engineer a trade for Randy Moss. The Patriots are interested and have offered a second-day pick for Moss. Raiders owner Al Davis shot down the Patriots' offer, believing he can get more. The two sides continue talking, hoping to hammer out a trade that seems less likely today than it did yesterday.

But New England has an advantage other teams don't. Any team that wants to trade for Moss will have to rework his contract, which calls for him to make $9.75 million this season. The Raiders even have asked Moss to restructure his contract -- the wide receiver has refused, challenging Oakland. But Moss is willing to redo his contract for the Patriots, a team the wide receiver believes can win the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl, at this point, is Moss' motivation in going to play for the Patriots.

As it stands now, it looks like it could be difficult to trade Moss this weekend. But the talks are ongoing and active, and they bear monitoring.

The other big development regarding the Raiders is the talks they've had in regards to their No. 1 overall pick. The team making a push to move up to No. 1 is the Cleveland Browns. But in exchange for the pick that put the Browns in position to draft LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell, the Raiders are demanding a first-, second- and third-round pick, and another first-round pick next year. At those terms, the Browns will pass on the deal, but they will continue to monitor the situation in the hopes they can pull off the trade.

The only way I want GB to look at Moss if he is released...which could be a very strong possibility. If Oakland is looking to trade him that bad then I am guessing Calvin Johnson just might be a very real pick at #1 and you don't want an idiot cancer like Moss around a good, hard working kid like Johnson.

I have a feeling every mock draft will be busted by pick 3.

Edited the above post due to my lack of listening skills earlier this morning.

Slightly OT: Goodall was the one who mispronounced "Favre"? Lol, they just made him look ridiculous on ESPN.

This would be the 4th off season WR move for NE if true:

Stallworth
Washington
Welker
Moss?

I think Moss to Packers won't happen... Arrigo spoke out the first time this morning - he said 60% chance Packers get Moss. He said NE offered a 2nd rnd pick - problem is, they dont' HAVE a 2nd rnd pick. Someone caught him on it and he said, oh, 2nd rnd pick in 08 - so I'm beginning to wonder.

I've never once thought he'd be a Packer. Just didn't make any sense to me.

I've been wrong plenty of times before though...
