A trade sending Moss from the Oakland Raiders to Green Bay is already in discussion stages, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported, saying according to an unnamed league source, general manager Ted Thompson has already been in direct talks with Raiders owner Al Davis about the move. According to sources, the teams have discussed the trade for a month and the Packers have been given permission to talk to Moss' agent about restructuring his contract.

"They're going to get rid of him," the source said, according to the Journal-Sentinel. "I think they think they can trade him. And I know Green Bay has interest."

Thompson has refused to discuss whether he would deal for Moss. The newspaper reported Tim DiPiero, Moss's agent, was unavailable for comment.

"Ted has not spent a lot of time talking to me about it, quite honestly," Packers chairman of the board Bob Harlan told the Journal-Sentinel. "Ted always starts out our meetings with a football report so he may get into that."

Harlan told the newspaper he has been taking calls, faxes and e-mails from Packers fans on the possible trade, with negative responses still outnumbering the positive. "I'd say it's been maybe 65-35 percent [anti-Moss]," Harlan said. He also said the Packers remain concerned about player character issues and public perception of the team as a classy organization.

"One man wrote, 'Moody. Excess baggage. Disruptive. Do any of these words sound like alarm bells to you?' " Harlan told the Journal-Sentinel. "One guy called from out of state and said, 'Bob, I'd rather see you go 0-16 than do that.' Isn't that something?"

But not all the feedback on Moss is negative, he added.

"People say to me, 'Brett [Favre] needs a big target. I know he's got baggage but he's never hurt anybody,' " Harlan told the newspaper. "Today, they were all, 'Take a chance.'"[/b]

I still hope it happens...

I think it would extend Favre's career, if he wants to keep playing. Driver, Jennings and Moss - pretty sick if you ask me.

A little TE production on top of that (in current players or new ones) and a decent running game and he'll be all set for however long he wants to stick around.

Yeah, if we get Moss, draft Lynch and draft a TE in the later rounds we'd be looking pretty set on Offense. We'd have 3 legit passing threats in our WR's, and 4 total with Lynch. All that would take the pressure off our TE's for catching passes and let Franks and who ever else block most of the time. Which is a very good thing for Franks.

A Moss trade could bring a downfall to Farve though. If he gets too gun happy like in 2005. His INT's could go through the roof. But the addition of Moss should make them a playoff contender, if then can also shore up the "D" a little more.

**** you Ted Thomson.

You to Childress.

I will post a picture of me crying if this trade goes through.

Just Kidding. But I'll cry

I want Moss to get traded but I don't think it's gonna happen I don't think we're gonna get enough for him

imported_BCheezy · 03-14-2007, 09:07 PM

Might as well just get rid of him.. he's making too much money for how he's been playing. You're not going to the playoffs anytime soon, get a 1st round draft pick or even 2nd instead of keeping him.

Yeah, I could see him doing that in a couple games if we had to play catch-up. We lost about 3 games last season by 7 or less and that was mainly because we couldn't score TD's in the red zone, adding Moss should help change that. The D isn't a concern at all. We're kinda weak at SS and very weak at Nickelback, that's all.
