Well, he wasn't officially placed on waivers today, so we actually won't find out until around 4pm Wednesday.

What if Moss doesn't want to sign with the team that picks him up from the waivers? Will they also release him if he doesn't want to play for them (i.e Bills)? Can they keep the rights to him after the season if he decides to sit out?

id love for us to take a shot on randy moss. it would instantly help our offense on third downs and in the red zone. also, we are on a bye week and hed have more time to get acclimated.

Is he cardiovascular fit enough for two minute drills at the end of the game?

^lol that's funny stuff right there. I'm not happy with what the HC did cause McNabb is the best in any game the last two minutes of, but even I was wondering the last two to three games why McNabb is slow in the 2 min drill. It's like there is no sense of urgency. So bash the HC all you want but I bet was just wanting to see if Grossmen could muster anything better then a bunch of dirt balls and overthrown balls which plagued McNabb all day. Go back to the game day thread and look at the fans complaining about it also.

I still can't believe they are waiving the guy after giving up a 3rd rounder for him. Someone's head is gonna roll for that.

This kind of reminds me of the Vinny-Sherm Lewis moment from last year (or many other Vinny moments of the past couple of years I guess). Where basically the ownership and the rest of the front office in Minnesota don't agree with the move but they've decided to just put it all on Childress now.

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"

[Takeuon]

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

I'll have an order of the Bald Chili please. Can I get a side of deserves all the blame in a "he ****ed up" box. I would like to pay for that now because I'm not gonna be here next year.

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...

[MTK]

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.

[mredskins]

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