It would me. Besides the unpleasant thought of actually having to root for Moss, I don't think the Pack has anybody on the defensive side that is enough of a stud to entice the Vikes to make the deal. Not to mention the Pack has enough defensive problems already without giving someone up.
Trading away Hannibal Navies is addition by subtraction.

Can you honestly say you couldn't root for Moss if he was on your time. I know I would root for Ahman Green if he got traded to us.
16-team PPR Keeper League QB: T. Romo, V. Young RB: M. Turner, B. Wells, T. Hightower WR: A. Johnson, J. Ford, N. Burleson, A. Roberts, J. Simpson TE: D. Clark, J. Cook K: R. Gould D/ST: Cardinals
Favre to Moss? Please. Packers fans would drool over that. It's what they would have to give up for a position they don't need help in that would make me mad if I were a Packers fan.

Canadian_Cheesehead wrote:Having a defence that couldn't stop anyone didn't hurt Moss in Minny, why should it be any different in Oakland. I think Moss would be the perfect fit for Kerry Collins, Moss is great at running for the deep ball and the deep ball is all Kerry Collins can throw.
I agree. Collins and moss would make a great duo. One difference though would be that Al Davis doesn't mind spending money on his defense, unlike red. I don't see him doing well with the ravens. I think he would really go crazy with kyle boller under throwing him all year long.
Yeah AL doesn't mind spending money. But his business choices have been dead ends for a long time now. First poor choice that pops into my mind is...that dallas cowboy that caught all those ints. in the superbowl some time ago. Signed him for 18 million+ and he was crap. Larry Brown?
This past season has proven how past his prime Al Davis is. Selecting and overpaying free agents with great careers behind them. Oh well i hope he learns his lesson.
As a Raider fan i want Randy to come over. He fits right in on a team filled with individuals who think of themselves very highly. Overappreciating their football value. Reality sucks and the Raiders sucked alot this season. Especially the defense. Phillip Buchanon is one of those guys with all the 10 karat diamond earings and phat chains. That has all the talent in the world. His character holds him back. Hopefully being in minnesota will calm him down...
I know that some of Al's moves haven't worked out but atleast he is trying. It's wors for teams with owners that don't give a da*n about the teams, just ask vikes fans. Another thing is that most people see the bad moves and don't appreciate some of the great moves al has made. Like this year he got Danny Clark and Marquez Anderson on the cheap and they came in and did great jobs. He also does a great job of finding talent in late round of the draft. See what Eric Barton did for the Jets and Derrick Coleman did for the Falcons this year. They improved those defenses dramatically this season. Al picked them both in the 5th round of the 1999 draft. They were both ungreatful and left at the first sign of trouble. Other examples would be Ronald Curry (7th), doug gabriel (5th), courtney anderson (7th) - you guys probably don't know about him but you will soon.

I wouldn't. I despise Moss.
And I never rooted for Deion when he came to Dallas. In fact, I mourned for weeks. Same with Ryan Leaf. If Clinton Portis (Was) or Jeremy Shockey (NYG) came to Dallas, I sure as Hell wouldn't root for them.

I don't dislike Moss because he's a Viking, I dislike him because he's a jerk. If he went to the Pack and did well, I would be happy for the Packers, but I still wouldn't care for him much (unless by some chance he cleaned up his act). It's the same with Packers Nick Barnett now, I am happy if he makes a big tackle but still don't like the guy personally and rather would see him somewhere else.
Azrael wrote:cooleyhigh, I was thinking the same thing. Best thing they could do is say, here's a first round pick, go draft yourselves and impact player.
I would love to see Burleson be the No. 1 next year. What a freaking steal that guy would be in fantasy drafts. He'd almost certainly be vaulted into a top 10 WR.
I'm thinking Burleson could be a top10 WR next year with or without Moss. Without Moss he sees a lot more targets. With Moss he sees a lot less coverage. It's a win/win for Burleson, love to get him in the 7th+ round next year.
LT Blue Colt wrote:Wow! That's definitly some big news. Although I can't blame the Vikes. Maybe they believe they need to focus on making themselves more of a team. Rather than having such individual outstanding players. I don't know. Very interesting though.
Moss does more for that "team" than any other player. Political correctness doesn't win football games, just ask Barry Sanders.

Those are absolutely great moves. But Barton and Coleman jumped ship before it sank. Can you blame them. Look at the teams they are a part of now. I would have done the same.
My problem with Mr. Al Davis is his free agent signings. Poor choices for the most part. It is possibly little bad luck. But one time shame on you. Two times shame on me. Al Davis is way beyond two or three bad free agents. Back to Moss.
Burleson will not be a top 10 WR next season with moss leaving. Between 15-8 is more like it. Mrob will be second fiddle to Nate, though.
