Randy Moss will probably be traded

Freak

I agree, Phil Buchanon has been nothing short of a disappointment in Oakland. Even so, the Vikes obviously aren't gonna get even trade value for Moss, which is understandable given the press about them wanting to deal him. I'd still expect they could land a couple of first-rounders for him, at the least.

Ty Law, haha.

Blitzkrieg

yeah, I agree. Ty Law for Moss will never happen. I don't know what the big deal is anyway. The Raiders could throw in a first rounder for 2007 or somethin'. Hey, if you get Moss on your team and he is motivated (which I know is tricky) he is worth every bit they give to get him.

Freak

Prior to walking off the field in Week 17 this year, Moss had made a pretty good image for himself in the last couple years. He'd become a leader in the locker room, especially for the young wideouts, and brought his team back into contention. I guess maybe he was bored of that.

The Vikes Offense will be fine. They can still trade one of their backs to get sumthin' (they currently have, Moore, Bennett, Smith, and Williams on the team), Marcus Robinson is a good wideout, Campbell is fast as hell, and Burleson had a breakout season as well.

And They have Duante.

Freak

I honestly don't believe they would be even close to the same.

Burleson is the only wideout I like on their team, and even then, I have no idea how he'd perform without Moss dragging half the secondary over to one sideline. He stepped in well while Moss was out this year though.

I just think Moss adds a dimension to the offense that no other receiver in the league can compare with.

Blitzkrieg

I don't love their receivers, but I think they have some servicable guys.

Yeah Moss adds the other demention, but if they get two first rounders they can use one of them on a WR. Who is in the draft? Mike Williams, I dunno I'd have to look to see who came out, but I also think Culpepper can make average receivers look better. Somethin' like Favre. You really think Donald Driver is a pro bowl receiver?..nah.

Freak

I'm not ready to compare Culp and Favre; give Daunte a couple years without Moss and I'd be more willing to judge him as a true leader like that. He's an athletic, athletic guy though.

The Vikings would have to get a pretty high pick to draft a Mike Williams or Braylon Edwards, and if they're trading Moss away, I'm almost certain it would be in exchange for defense anyway -- they'd be looking for a DE or LB or S, most likely.

Blitzkrieg

They could get a pretty decent guy in a later round if they're smart enough. I think Keary Colbert was a 2nd rounder for the Panthers, and if they got real lucky T.O. was like a 4th round pick out of Chattanooga when the niners got him....but I wouldn't really expect them to pull sumthin' like that off.

Dr. Giganto

ESPN says he's going ot the Raiders

Blitzkrieg

Certainly sounds like it's gonna happen
