Well, reports say that Dolphins, Broncos and Seahawks are interested.

LOL! The Dolphins have no one to throw him the ball, the Broncos throw all day and STILL get whipped, and the Seahawks -- well, their 3,000 year-old QB doesn't hold up very well, does he?

The other candidates I could imagine are the Rams and Redskins, just looking at the rosters. Seahawks make a lot of sense. Pete Carroll thinks he can handle just about anyone.

the fins already has marshal; maybe broncos should start tim tebow, since their season is over, and give tebow a chance to see if he is a starter material in the NFL.

Anyone who thinks the Bronco's are interested is an idiot. We got rid of Brandon Marshall for the same reason why nobody should touch Randy Moss.

Brandon Lloyd is the biggest deep threat in the entire league right now, WTF do we need with cry baby bitch boy Moss

Bill Simmons just tweeted: "Note to Pats: Sign Moss just so 'Pats trade Randy Moss to Minnesota for a 3rd round pick and Randy Moss' can run on ESPN's ticker."

I do have to say, as a Pats fan I'm glad the organization managed to keep him somewhat controlled for 4 years. Childress couldn't last 4 games :).

Edit: I think he'll end up with the Redskins.

If the Vikings are on the hook to pay him anyway, why wouldn't they just sit him on the bench for the rest of the season? Do they need the roster spot?

The Vikings can't sit him on the bench, as you said they need the roster spot. Additionally, given precedent with Owens in Philadelphia they can't send him home with pay either. They don't want him anywhere near the team- he's a cancer. They pretty much had to waive him in order to get him out of the locker room.

Our season is far from over, Chargers are one game ahead and the Chiefs will start showing who they are soon enough. We won't make the playoffs probably but we are nothing like Dallas or Minnesota where its clearly over - because our division is weak.

AFC west are coming along with the chefs, raiders and chargers. The chefs could win the West this year. The broncos need to start Tebow to see if he's a start QB material; since they draft so high in the 1st round.

I see the attempt by the Pats to go back to the ball control offense they had before Moss came over, but they just don't have the running game they need to pull it off.

While Moss would stretch the field, the Pats really need a number one running back. They can't keep losing time of posession like they have been.
The new, young defense has held up so far, but they can't be on the field as long as they have been..

FYI This coming draft the Pats have two first round, two second round and two third round picks. And the third round from the Vikings looks like it will be a high one.

Their picks from other teams:
Raiders first round 4-4
Carolina second round 1-6
Vikings third round 2-5

If the Cowboys get him somehow, I will literally need to be rushed to the hospital after nearly laughing myself to death.

It's just so stupid and beyond the realm of comprehesible that Jerry Jones just might go for it! But I think Jerry is too busy trying to get Mike Vick from the eagles;)

You're wrong and it doesn't matter any way because the only way Tebow will start is if Orton is hurt. Tebow is not the kind of QB you throw right into the fire, that seems to be the popular thing to do in the NFL these days, but I still like the old school mentality of building a QB up by sitting him and letting him learn a couple of years.

Herschel Walker Part 2.

OK, not anywhere near as bad, but still. :p

Mathematically speaking, if the Vikings ended up giving away a 3rd round pick for nothing in return, it'll actually be a worse trade than Herschel Walker. At least with that they got something (if not much).

If this does officially go down, I have no doubt he will be claimed by someone.

If Moss gets claimed by a team NOT the Patriots, he will only be there one season before resigning a new contract with New England.

If no one claims Moss, he'll come back to New England.

Moss and the Patriots organization like each other - it was just a money/contract issue. Moss now realizes the grass is not greener on the other side and the Patriots are his ideal team to finish his legacy. My bet is Moss will be willing to concede a lot less money for a new contract.

That and Brady/Belicheck are the only combo that can get him to behave.

That's good, since I just bought the patriots' Moss jersey. Now I have a trifecta of Moss' Jerseys.. :)
