Rumor has it that the Vikings and the Oakland Raiders have agreed to a trade that will send Randy Moss to Oakland in exchange for the Raider's first-round pick this year, a seventh-round choice and linebacker Napoleon Harris, who was once a first-round pick himself.
I should be worried about this impending hole in the Vikings line and the Minnesota Moving Company's offense. When these guys play up to their potential, they are formidable! This year, though, with his hamstring injury, Randy Moss wasn't the performer he was in past years. True, he did have 13 TD catches and over 750 yards, which is excellent, but he wasn't the All-Pro he was in his first six seasons, with over 1,000 yards every year of his professional career until this year. Injuries will do that to the best of 'em.
So far, this is just a rumor, but once the new NFL fiscal year starts at the end of next week, we will see if this is true or not. I hate to see Moss go, if he does. But in the last minute of that Washington game, when he walked off the field before the game was over, talk about a morale crusher for the other Vikings who were playing their hearts out and didn't give up. Maybe Randy Moss and his colorful antics aren't what we need in Minnesota, not if it will cost the team its cohesive strength on offense. In any case, this is just a rumor so there is no need for panic. Or celebration. Take your pick.
