NFL Rumor!!! Moss to be released!---update: picked up by Titans

I'm just glad the Vikings won't have to pick up the remainder of his contract. We've made enough ridiculous mistakes this year without having to throw away a few more million bucks.
 
So what should I do with Britt on my fantasy team because theyre on Bye this week? Think hes worth holding onto?
 
I wonder if that's accurate, though. It's possible some player has been shuffled around by more than three teams in a season. But that tends to happen with players who rarely even end up playing. Moss may be the first player to start for three different teams in a season, I don't know.

Welker was better as well. So does this mean that Moss is like a power-up for other receivers? Britt will heal miraculously and have some more 200+ yard games with 3 touchdowns while Moss draws coverage?

You would have thought the same with TO coming to Cle. He just made my ocho useless.
 
You know, with everyone constantly talking about how Moss draws coverage away from other receivers, you'd think other teams would have figured that out in their defensive schemes. Moss really isn't as good as everyone says, he doesn't really try anymore. Even if he's only single covered.

Yeah, like that one handed catch against Revis. 😵

Actually he is. But like you said it's just because he doesn't really try anymore. Whenever he decides to try though he's pretty much unstoppable which is why teams pay attention to him. A guy like Randy might take offense to being single covered resulting in a 200 yd 3 td explosion. At least that's how I hope it goes down in Nashville. 😛

He's averaged a TD/game for the last three years. Last week, he was double/triple teams by NE which allowed Harvin to have such a good game.
 
Good news if the Titans can get him to perform.

Like has already been said, I think this will benefit Britt in any case as soon as he's ready to play.

My bet, though, is that Randy Moss is pretty much done in the NFL. I think he will be let go from the Titans in a matter of weeks or just sit out this season because of dissatisfaction with his new team. I just don't think he has the mindset to play any more.
 
Moss wants to come home, and he will, eventually. He will perform then, as in his heart he knows where he belong; it showed in his speech.
 
When Moss catches his first TD pass with the Titans, he'll become the first player in NFL history to catch a TD for 3 different teams in the same season.
 
Moss sure is a dick, but the Titans need any help to attempt to be a contender. It'll probably blow up in their faces, but you gotta try.

And he'll be the first person to let everyone know that, and keep reminding of that.

the guy is crazy, loco, folingue, dian. If this does not work, I think all teams are gonna say no to him unless he will accept a small salary.

I think you're forgetting just how good he was (and still is). Even at his "advanced age," Randy is still faster than most defensive backs. His accelerating is incredibly deceptive due to his long legs. Once he is in single coverage, it's pretty much game over. He is tall, knows how to read the ball, and has perfected the art of keeping the ball location a mystery to his defender until the last second.

His speed has certainly declined a little bit, as has his jumping ability, but only Megatron right now is anything close to what Randy CAN be. Teams take advantage of his attitude. They know that if they bring safety help over the top, he'll get discouraged.

He doesn't like being a decoy... he wants to be THE offensive weapon.

Look at last weekend's game. The Pats had a safety rolled over the top of him the entire time. When he ran routes near the goal line, he was chipped at the line, picked up by a DB and then ran into at least one of the safeties. The second the Patriots showed single coverage on Randy, Favre capitalized and Brandon Meriweather, the unfortunate soul left covering Moss, did the right then and tried to simply take him out.

Leaving Moss in single coverage is basically giving the other team a long completion or a touchdown. Teams double him because they would rather force the offense to successfully execute eleven or twelve 80% success-rate plays than one or two 40% bombs to Randy. The ONLY guy that ever seemed to give Moss trouble in single coverage was Revis.

Sorry, but you can't downplay Moss's abilities. He's one of the most physically gifted guys to ever play the position and, if he had a better head on his shoulders, he would own every single solitary receiving record.

I think he blew his chance at another big contract, but he isn't done. He's going to follow the TO route -- successively smaller one-year deals to keep him honest until his playmaking abilities are basically gone.

I think he'll report to the Titans, if only because he knows he needs to perform to have a job next year.
