Randy Moss Traded To New England For Fourth Round Draft Pick
Quote:
(April 29, 2007) -- On Draft Weekend 2007, the biggest tremors in the football world came from a trade between the New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders.

Randy Moss is on the verge of becoming a Patriot after New England agreed to send a fourth-round pick in Sunday's draft to Oakland for the mercurial and maddening wide receiver. Before the trade is completed, Moss must undergo a physical, which he arrived in New England on Sunday morning to take. Assuming Moss passes, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be passing him the ball next season in one of the most dynamic and electric quarterback-wide receiver combinations that has ever played in the NFL.

Moss already has agreed to dramatically restructure his contract, which is scheduled to pay him $9.75 million this coming season. New England was the one and only place Moss would agree to take a reduced contract, and he did so knowing that he would have the chance to win a Super Bowl. With the offseason that New England has had, no team in football has a better chance.

Moss also comes to New England with the warning that, as Bill Parcells used to say, the light is yellow and ready to turn red. The Patriots have notified Moss that under no circumstance will they tolerate any of the transgressions that have marked his career. The first controversial incident that Moss is involved in will be his last. The Patriots insist they will release him.

But now that they have him, they are thrilled. Brady is said to be very excited upon learning the news that his team had agreed to a trade with Oakland. Patriots coach Bill Belichick feels the same way as Brady. After spending previous seasons lacking a big-play target, the Patriots now have a plethora of them -- none any bigger than Moss.

How the trade evolved is a story itself. Ongoing trade talks from throughout the offseason continued Friday and intensified Saturday night after the draft when the Raiders called the Patriots and got New England to sweeten its offer of what had been a sixth-round pick. New England agreed to trade a fourth-round pick to Oakland.

The trade caps a remarkably and busy offseason for the Patriots, who have repositioned themselves as the team to beat in the AFC and the NFL. They have added former Ravens linebacker Adalius Thomas, former Bengals cornerback Tory James, former Dolphins running back Sammy Morris, former Dolphins wide receiver Wes Welker, former Eagles wide receiver Donte Stallworth and former Bengals wide receiver Kelley Washington.

Oakland was in a position where it had to trade Moss. It could not afford to pay him his base salary while also signing No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell to a contract that is expected to include about $30 million in guaranteed money. Plus, Raiders coach Lane Kiffin had been anxious to deal Moss and start over fresh, able to implement his own ideas with his own players.
Im guessing danny is happy...=\ personaly I hope they fail hard.

I found a poor man once
He was the age of fifty-three
He spoke about the government
And the thought of being free
What good does us reason if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom if we fail to be free

I do not agree.

The Pats running game is largely unproven. While Kevin Faulk is a good 3rd down back, and Laurence Maroney had a great freshman year splitting time with Dillon, I don't know if he's ready for prime time yet. Who knows if that shoulder injury will nag him through the season either, so don't give it to the Pats yet.

Yeah thats my first thought as well. I don't really recall Brady being a vertical kind of QB and Moss isn't to good underneath with the short stuff.

I don't know, its an interesting trade.

Re: Randy Moss Traded To New England For Fourth Round Draft Pick
I am now a Patriots fan.

Enough said.

I'm a good old rebel,
Now thats just what I am,
And for this Yankee nation,
I do not give a damn.
I'm glad we fought against her,
I only wish we'd won.
I ain't asking any pardon for anything we've done.

Re: Randy Moss Traded To New England For Fourth Round Draft Pick
I honestly don't see the big deal here. How many weapons can you have in the passing game? The Pats and Brady were already at the top of the league in passing, so what is Moss going to add other then bitching and complaining?

Pats need help in some other areas, especially pass defense.

Re: Randy Moss Traded To New England For Fourth Round Draft Pick
For those that think he is a poor addition because of his attitude, I disagree. Moss is going to a team that has won without him, so he's going to be back to his former self, not the "Oakland Moss". Brady and Belichick have a proven formula, and I doubt Randy is going to come in and mess it up.

In my opinion, Moss can only help the Pats, not hurt them. Here's hoping for another great season from New England.

Re: Randy Moss Traded To New England For Fourth Round Draft Pick
Well, If Attitude has anything to do with, Moss will be getting released pretty darn quick. The Patriots have mentioned more then once if Moss does any kind of his old tricks, Hell be released on the spot. So hopefully for the Pats sake, Moss shapes up and just plays footballl rather then fuax mooning the crowd.
