I want him...sign him. Redskins 1 should be on it's way to Minnesota as we speak. All these years complaining about how we don't have a tall deep threat can be put to rest. At a minimum it should open up the passing game to the other guys on the roster and put Santana in the slot where he belongs.

pretty sure he still has to clear waivers. At least, every major news site is reporting he does.

If Randy Moss can play center or guard I'm all for it. Granted this team could use any up-grade available at the w/r position, but a quiter I don't think so. We don't need more drama, we do need someone who can block for the qb.

Since it's after the trade deadline, he is on the waiver wire. If it was before the trade deadline, you would be correct.

Yeah it's buried in all the verbiage. So it's easy to miss

Well in another case of JLC vs the league:

JLC says Moss "NOT NOT NOT" on the waiver wire.

NFL.com transactions list Moss as cut.

as always, I am rooting against JLC's version.

Here is the verbage from the link.

Section 1. Release:
(a) Whenever a player who has finished the season in which his fourth year of credited service has been earned under the Bert Bell/Pete Rozelle Plan is placed on waivers between February 1 and the trading deadline, his contract will be considered terminated and the player will be completely free at any time thereafter to negotiate and sign a Player Contract with any Club, and any Club shall be completely free to negotiate and sign a Player Contract with such player, without penalty or restriction, including, but not limited to, Draft Choice Compensation between Clubs or First Refusal Rights of any kind, or any signing period. If the waivers occur after that time, the player’s Player Contract will be subject to the waiver system and may be awarded to a claiming Club. However, if such player is claimed and awarded, he shall have the option to declare himself an Unrestricted Free Agent at the end of the League Year in question if he has a no-trade clause in his Player Contract. If such player does not have a no-trade clause and the Player Contract being awarded through waivers covers more than one additional season, the player shall have the right to declare himself an Unrestricted Free Agent as set forth above at the end of the League Year following the League Year in which he is waived and awarded.

I would love to have Moss with the Redskins! He's a great target for McNabb! I would take him any day. Hope we get a chance.

We need a receiver named Johnson, plain and simple.
