ProFootballTalk reports that Randy Moss wants out of Oakland. They are speculating that he could be traded to another team as early as June 1, 2007 and Miami could be his next team. PFT tends to be a little too dramatic for my taste. However, on a slow football news week, it is something to consider.​

Here are some quotes from the article:

RANDY, RAIDERS DESTINED FOR DIVORCE

As various media reports highlight recent radio remarks from Raiders receiver Randy Moss regarding his desire in early 2005 to be traded to the Falcons or the Ravens, the obvious connotation (which heretofore has been overlooked) is that Oakland wasn't his first choice.
"I want to tell every Atlanta Falcon and football fan that's listening to this what happened. When I was getting traded from Minnesota I wanted to come and play for either the Atlanta Falcons or the Baltimore Ravens," Moss told 790 The Zone in Atlanta.

"I wanted to play with Atlanta just for the fact of Michael Vick's elusiveness, and I wanted to play with a guy such as Ray Lewis because he's on defense and I'm on offense. So I did have dreams and high hopes of being traded to the Atlanta Falcons but the president and owner of the Atlanta Falcons [Arthur Blank] told me specifically that he does not want me in Atlanta, there's nothing that I can do to Atlanta and he wished me the best of luck. He did not think that Randy Moss would be a good fit in Atlanta."

And we believe that Randy's decision to speak publicly about his private desires from more than 16 months ago is part of a broader plan to get out of Oakland, as soon as possible. Moss is signed through 2008, with salaries of $8.25 million, $9.75 million, and $11.25 million over the next three years. He took much of his 2005 salary in the form of a signing bonus in order to reduce his cap number, but those deferred payments will only push his cap charge higher over the next three seasons.

Under new cap rules, Moss could be traded to another team after June 1, 2007, with the bonus acceleration due to his departure being spread equally over 2007 and 2008. And our guess is that the Raiders will decide based on the 2006 season whether they want Moss around over the long haul. If so, they'll likely want to extend his contract in order to reduce his cap number for the last two seasons of the deal he negotiated in 2001.

So what will become of all of this? We used to think Moss was destined to return to Minnesota. We now think he'll eventually land in Miami, with former teammate Daunte Culpepper and fellow West Virginian Nick Saban. But the one thing of which we're sure is that Moss won't be retiring as a Raider.

interesting, not anything to be excited about or frustrated about at the moment becasue its far off but still interesting to hear.


PFT is crazy though so who knows.
 
He'll end up in Dallas, replacing Owens.

I'd love to see how they make up stories at PFT. I wonder if it's like madlibs. One of them creates the story sans player names and team names. Another guy randomly names teams and players.
 
While the thought of reviving Culpepper-to-Moss is pretty enticing, its pretty unrealistic IMO. We'd have to pay a huge price for him, including probably giving up Chambers, which isnt something I want to do.
 
Hes not comeing here.The raiders would want a #1 pick for him and i dont think Saban will give them that.

Al Davis is not the shiniest penny in the fountain & would probably take Marcus Vick, Seth McKinney, & pair of 7th round picks. :D
 
haha imagine randy in this offense next year replacing booker. Too good to be true. Not even worth it.
 
Nick Saban investigated Terrell Owens and if Randy Moss becomes available you can bet he'd investigate Randy Moss as well.
 
I could see it happening if:

- Moss has another down year and his trade value drops significantly
- Duante pushes for Randy to join him in Miami for a Super Bowl run in 2007
- Moss is willing to restructure his contract

It appears to me that Saban is willing to take in talented players as long as they are willing to follow his leadership, and not want too much money (e.g., Ricky Williams).

Oh, I'm sure Nick will do his due diligence. If Randy is available for a 7th rounder and will rework his contract to take league minimum, he's ours!

At his likely price, his chance of being a Dolphin is similar to the chance Owen is a Dolphin.
