This is just a rumor, and it started out that Favre asked for the Packers to get Moss which McCarthy said wasn't the case.

Looks like this is heating back up

excerpt:

Indianapolis - The Oakland Raiders are trying to dump Randy Moss and the Green Bay Packers definitely are interested if the former all-pro wide receiver would agree to a restructured contact in order to play with a better team and Brett Favre.

Sources close to the situation said the Packers had explored trading for Moss, the temperamental former Minnesota Viking who once pretended to moon the crowd at Lambeau Field.

The two teams have had preliminary dialogue but at this point the Packers consider Moss to be an economically unfeasible solution to their need for another receiver alongside Donald Driver and Greg Jennings.

Moss has two years left on his contract, including base salaries of $9.75 million in 2007 and $11.25 million in '08. Moss' business agent is Tim DiPiero, but some of his affairs are handled by James "Bus" Cook, the only agent Favre has ever had. Mindful of tampering rules, general manager Ted Thompson and Packers coach Mike McCarthy have carefully avoided talking about Moss. Yet, neither has denied interest in him, either.

"You have the opportunity to obtain players for your program through the draft and free agency, and he's another part of free agency," McCarthy said last week. "That's where I stand on that."

The trading period opens Friday. New England and Jacksonville reportedly also are interested in Moss.

Several Raiders sources at the NFL combine indicated that Moss wasn't expected back in '07.

"Moss quit on us last year," one Raiders employee said. "My feeling is he wants to go someplace where they can win. He knows he only has X number of years left and he's never, ever won at any level."

The Raiders were last in just about everything in 2006 and are starting over with a novice head coach, Lane Kiffin, and what might be a rookie quarterback, JaMarcus Russell.

I would do this if i were the Raiders. Moss hates it there and he is just not worth the money. They might as well deal him and maybe get something in return.

If he were to go to the Packers, they have alread said that he would have to take a pay cut. doesn't look feasible anymore.

The News
The Packers still have interest in Randy Moss, but would likely need the wide receiver to take a significant pay cut if he were to come to Green Bay. The Packers are only interested in trading for Moss if the former all-pro wide receiver would agree to a restructured contract to play with Brett Favre. Sources close to the situation said the Packers had explored trading for Moss, but the Milwaukee Journal reports the Packers consider Moss to be an economically unfeasible option at this time.

Our View
Randy has made no bones about wanting out of Oakland, but it appears he may have to be willing to sacrifice monetarily to get his wish. The Raiders had previously maintained a third-round pick and a wide receiver would be enough for them to pull the trigger, but now things are getting more complex. This will continue to be a hot topic, but in addition to any actual trade, Randy would also need to be willing to part with some serious cash if he hopes to play in Green Bay.
