Vikings and Patriots complete trade for Randy Moss

[SmootSmack]

Pats now have 8 picks in the first 4 round next year. Amazing.

If Revis and the Jets beat the Vikings on Monday though that's a huge hole for the Vikes to come out of and Moss will be none too happy I'm sure

That's how they roll. I wish that we put more emphasis on the draft. Note that we traded a 3 and a 4 for Brandon Marshall, another 3 and a 4 for TJ Duckett, while the Raiders acquired Randy Moss in his prime for a 4. Hopefully our days of tossing draft choices like confetti for marginal players are over.

3rd and 4th for Brandon Marshall. Ha! I wish

The Duckett move was my least favorite move (arguably) of the past decade. I saw no point in it, especially since we never actually used him

I guess I was wishing too - that 3 and 4 was traded for Brandon Lloyd. Adding insult to injury, Snyder/Gibbs tore up the last year of his contract and handed him a $10M bonus before he played a down - ouch.
