Randy Moss to the Patriots?

I heard Porter not Moss. (from a jon clayton column) http://sport...y?id=2628449

I'm starting to think this isn't a deal in the making... fun idea, though!

Okay... Moss to Patriots... but for who?

For Tom Brady... that sounds like a fair deal

I have heard rumors that they were trying to work a deal out, but I haven't heard anything that they have agreed on a trade. I'll keep watching though.

"According to NBCSports.com's Tom Curran, the Patriots will not be making any moves for Randy Moss prior to the NFL trade deadline."

Moss would go to the Patriots for Seattle's 1st round pick

I doubt the Pats will be making any moves for a wideout. Brady loves Gabriel and Watson, plus Caldwell, Graham, Brown, and, now Gaffney are nice compliments. Brady doesn't really need a go to guy when he likes to spread the ball around so much.

I can see the Pats making a move for a new wideout, just not sure that Moss is the guy. You talk about the anti-Patriot he has to be it.

Patriots need to make a move, Brady was not happy when this offseason. He agreed to much less money in return for the Pats keeping guys around. They're 13 million under the cap now, that money doesn't carry over, they should make some sort of acquisition to back up their word. And Moss would be great from a x's and o's standpoint. Because of the way Brady spreads it out, doubling covering Moss becomes very difficult if a team still intends on playing run defense. Moss doesn't need to be thrown at 15 times a game, he isn't that type of player. He needs deep ball opportunities that would arise from his single coverage, making the Patriots much more dangerous. The question is if Moss is still the player he once was and just being lazy in Oakland, or has he actually lost a step.

I think the deal would be good for the Pats and good for Moss, but Al Davis isn't going to get rid of him... As for Moss being the "Anti-Pat", WHAT has he done wrong the last couple of years?

He has spoken out against the Raiders several times this season. And he is 1 or2 yrs removed from walking out on a game early.

I guess there's no deal... the deadline has passed. Bummer...

Shut up!!! You dont have any sources! You read Clayton columns and feel like you are on the inside. You are a disgrace to those of us who are real sports writers.

Manny has every right to express himself here, as you do. It is just that he is not afraid to hide behind an "Anonymous Fanatic" like you apparently are.

Ok as write as you are I need a place to start. i do get in the LA kings, lakers and clippers locker rooms though.

Whats wrong with the Leyland article?

Not you to Pean. Look sharks a good guy to I just didnt see eye to eye with him. Nothing I say on this site is personal. You should all know that.

My source was not an ESPN article. My source has been right before on some pretty obscure stuff. He said a deal was in the works. Even if he made it up, I thought it was interesting idea to throw it out there. I also was mildly amused when Dan Patrick brought the same issue up 3 hours later on his radio show... then told Olbermann who said call the Patriots and tell them we made the deal for them.

I may not be a "journalist" but I am journalistic by nature. I have volumes and piles of writing from the days before the internet... in journals, a la "the nature of journalism" - I also abide by a code of ethics in my writing that you may never understand. I write so people can enjoy reading even if they don't know why they enjoy this nonsense...

I heard the rumor and made a mistake of trying to wish it true by reinforcing the thought in my most comfortable outlet. As for saying I get my ideas from ESPN, check my archive then you can blow me. ESPN isn't offering the opinions I give you ad free here on ArmchairGM.com

I pretty much stopped reading ESPN the day I started reading/writing on ArmchairGM and realizing I could write entertaining articles that didn't include 90210 references out the Keyser Soze (although I still peruse the occasional TMQ article)

If it wasn't for Hunter S Thompson and Ralph Wiley, there would have never been a Page 2 and since they're dead, why read ESPN.com?

TO and Moss will never succeed outside of a place like New England, where there's a no-nonsense coach that they can see knows what he's doing, and captians that will jump all over their asses if they screw up
