Vikings announce Moss is out

Posted by Mike Florio on November 1, 2010 8:57 PM ET
After a bizarre late-afternoon flurry of rumors and reports created the impression that coach Brad Childress went rogue when deciding to cut receiver Randy Moss, it's now clear that, indeed, Moss is out.

"This decision was made based on what we thought was in the best interests of the Minnesota Vikings, both in the short and long term," Childress said in a team-issued release. "We wish Randy the best as he moves forward in his career."

No you don't wish him the best, Brad. Because if he goes somewhere else and has a big impact, you'll look even worse for how you handled the situation.

The next question becomes whether anyone will want Moss via waivers. If he clears waivers, he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Will he deliver? Who knows....head case.
We maybe more than any team in the NFL have had a pension for taking on other teams problem children, players past their prime, etc.
Perennially successful teams like: NE, Pittsburg, Indy, don't do much of that. Why? Self explanatory..........

New England takes problems and turns them into gold. Moss was devastating in New England. Don't be surprised if he ends up there again.

I know this. Randy can run a 9 route. But probably like Devin Thomas, he wouldn't be able to grasp the playbook.

No one runs routes like Grandpa Galloway ran them yesterday.

Does anyone know the order of waivers and when?
I would grab this dude in a heartbeat....even to start him at Center if we needed to!
(or QB apparently)

I found this waiver list...we are 15th behind the raiders.
No way Moss clears waivers which probably starts tommorrow

3.8 million to get the most physically talented wide receiver ever?

What can it hurt?

[SmootSmack]

Rams should take him. Hope we do

[44Deezel]

They just speculated on MNF that the Rams would take him, but identified the Skins of 1 of 4 teams most likely to make a run at him, along with the Seahwaks, Raiders and can't remember the other team.

Why not? When they traded for McNabb, they made it clear they wanted to win now. Either win now or re-build. Don't half-step.

Like Nucky Thompson, you can't be half a gangster

[wilsowilso]

I don't like the guy, but he is the most ridiculously talented big play WR ever.

It's not even close.

We could really use him.

[skinsfaninok]

Would Randy come to DC? Would MS even want him? I guess we will find out tomorrow

I cannot think of any problem guys besides Randy that they did that with, and I would like to point out, they....recently jettisoned him when he became a problem

I don't see how it could hurt to bring him in -- everyone would know that he is a stop gap, you give him a contract for the rest of the year and then release him.

Wow, I am so kidding -- no way after the Haynesworth, recently with Hall that we need any more prima donnas on this team. Stay away, build intelligently through the draft. I have full confidence in Shanny and Allen that they will bring in some solid WR talent in the upcoming draft.

Never get tired of this cliche.
