It's like they're saying "Ok, Brad, you think this is the right move. We'll do it, but it's 100% on you now. This doesn't work you have no one to blame but yourself and you can find new employment next year"

If that's the case, then it would be interesting to know if Childress even wanted him in the first place.

Childress is so fired. If they lose a few more he may not make it through the year.

Hmmm....What good is it to bring him aboard when we have no offensive line?

McNabb has had time, AA dropped one. Galloway has missed several long bombs. AA is getting better, but Moss makes several of the long bombs we have missed. He also forces coverage ALOT. Is it a guarantee of success, no, is it a low risk solution, I would say yes. Doesn't cost picks, not a big check, compared to some we have paid out.

Overall, i just don't see much risk, but a good upside if he and McNabb figure it out.

Exactly my thoughts. A lot of people were squeamish about bringing Vincent Jackson in because of the high draft price it would inflict. There is no draft picks we would have to give away. His salary would be minimal. You are not going to tell me that he is worse than a 38 year old Galloway who is losing more and more playing time each week. Or worse than any other WR not named Armstrong or Moss.

I realize everyone is talking about pre madonna this and another haynesworth that, but I seriously think the pros outweigh the cons by A LOT. Not like we are exactly in the division lead right now and I don't see how it could cause us to lose MORE games than if he wasn't here. Get it done.

I think someone else grabs him before us, that is higher up the wire then us.

There really are only a few teams ahead of us that would make sense. Carolina and the Rams to me are the biggest "competitors", the question with both of them is a - money and b - they have young clubs, do they want Moss' locker room style affecting their qb's?

Wish they had put him on the waver wire yesterday...

I could see the Jags maybe taking a shot at him. He would certainly help sell some tix and at 4-4 they're still in the hunt. Overall I think there's a fair chance he could make it to us on the list.

By losing on Sunday did we better ourselves a chance to get him?

With the loss we are number 15 on the waiver list, if we had won we would have been 23 based on record and schedule strength.

what an asshole. no way does moss act like that in the new england locker room. but what really got me was the pass interference play where he 100% quit on the play once the flag was thrown. all he had to do was look at the ball and it was a td.

I wonder if he was doing stuff like that to ensure that he wouldn't get retained by the Vikings next season. I also wonder how out of context those statements were quoted.

If he didn't want to come back, all he had to do was refuse to sign a contract with them.

It's not like that sort of behavior is really out of character for him.

He has always wanted to play with Favre though and at the time there was still time to right the ship. I wonder if these incidents took place after the last couple of loses. At that point in time he could just have been burning some bridges to make sure that they don't want to retain him after the season is over. I do not think that Randy cares that he got waived, either Minnesota or somebody else is going to pay him for the rest of the season and then he is a UFA.
