Re: The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread
Did you hear Randy's post game press conference last night? He was quite critical of Childress and the Vikings staff and completely complementary towards the New England organization. If anything, THAT led to him being waived, not on field performance or lack of perceived effort.
This is just comical.
Re: The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread
Damn this is insane. 4 games and they're out a 3rd round pick. Man they should just start Tarvaris Jackson in this case. If the season going down in flames, they might as well tank for a higher 1st round pick. I'd like for the Titans to try to pick him up but Jeff Fisher doesn't like Moss for whatever reason. FWIW, a few members of the team have already said they want the Titans to sign him. He's on waivers though and they might not have the chance.
What would be really hilariously funny would be if the Cowboys or 49ers picked him up, that would be OAK 2006 Moss revisited again.
Oh yeah, the Patriots got a 3rd rounder for free. I still don't know how MIN just cuts him after a month.
Edit: The Redskins could also pick him up. They like picking up name players regardless of personality. Also they suck at WR too.
Re: The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread
What would be even funnier is if the Patriots grabbed him.....
That's what they're saying.
And really, I think the Press Conference shouldn't have had anything to do with it unless he was right, and Childress didn't listen to him like how Moss said when he called him out.
Word is Vikings players are very upset about this. I say Childress is fired this week.
Re: The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread
Yeah, it's certainly not out of the realm of possibilities that Randy ends up back in New England. Listening to his press conference, his heart is clearly still in New England.
IF a team picks him up through waivers they'd owe him whatever remains of his 6.5 million dollar contract for this season. Not cheap. If he clears waivers by 4PM tomorrow he could be picked up by any team for much less money.
Re: The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread
I don't think the Pats will win a waiver wire claim though they're at the bottom of the list. Best record in NFL means you claim last. I figure someone (anyone?) will claim him just to keep him away from NE.
If they fire Childress in season, they're basically punting on the entire season. I think he goes after this year. Vikings still need to get financing for a new stadium and this disaster of a season isn't helping.
Re: The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread
No way the Pats put a waiver claim in on him. A team could try to block them by putting a claim in themselves, but is it worth 4 million to block the Patriots? That's not chump change. Plus his production is way down this year. Sure he makes players around him better but the Vikings went 1-3 with him and the Patriots haven't lost without him. That'd be an expensive risk in my mind.
Re: The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread
There are a lot of teams with WR issues. Some of them have playoff aspirations (SEA,SD, TEN, IND probably more teams) and they might overlook the personality + salary problems that Moss brings for a shot at a ring.
The upside is he turns it on and becomes a deep threat and you don't have to deal with him for next year. There's also the impending lockout next year too. It's not that big a risk.
Also, some GMs and owners don't really think about the chemistry issue like you or I do, they see Randy Moss and just see a great player (cough...Washington).
