Randy Moss RELEASED by Vikes?

Well Brad Childress is affraid to confront Favre, so I guess he had to jump on somebody.:hiding:

Seriously, I don't know what's up, but if Moss is healthy, he will probably be picked up by a good team. I think the Jets should get him.:D Tennessee could use him too.
 
I didn't think the Vikes really needed him in the first place, but this still seems strange to me. It makes me wonder if Moss knew this was comign and that was the reason behind his statements at the post-game yesterday.

Actually with Sidney Rice out and Percy Harvin day-to-day with his health issues, it made some sense. However, THIS makes none at all.

Anyone know what Rice's status is? Is he back?
 
Rice is supposed to be back between weeks 9 and 12, depending on when he and his doctor thinks he can play. ESPN FFB says week 10 at the earliest though.

I think the Vikings are nuts for making this move. Why trade for him if you are going to cut him?
 
hmm... wow... well, now the question is wheres the guy going? i dont see mr moss unemployed for much longer, but who really, really needs him? (considering the purported personality issues/whatever).

moss wont replace collie or austin, but the colts definitely need somebody... i think. if they get crushed tonight, who knows.

my only other thought is that the jets have already bought every big name with a price tag by it (minus peppers), so perhaps he can try to fit in with that crowd.

arizona...? hell, im lost, but at least he wont be back in oakland!
 
This is crazy. Nut job or not a guy than can burn down the field like that and pull the ball out of the air like Moss can is right up Favres alley. I seem to remember that Favre was part of getting him to the Vikings. Toss it up and let'em have at it. Lets not forget that Moss set the NFL touchdown record just a few years ago?

I find myself wondering if this is a sign that they have given up on Favre and intend to truck on with Jackson.
 
I wonder if this has anything to do with Moss' post-game press conference, where he basically just talked about how much he loves and misses the guys from the Patriots. He didn't go so far to say he regretted being traded, but it's kinda akin to telling your new girlfriend how good-looking and fun your old girlfriend was.
 
I don't really have any feelings one way or the other about the Vikes. I like watching them play, and as a receiver, I always enjoyed watching Randy play, but this is just crazy.

Yeah, until the NFCCG last year, and all the crazy, baseless fingerpointing about how the Saints were "dirty", I was kinda "meh" about the Vikes...but their players, coaches, and fans are a bunch of whiners, and just irritate me.

Randy, very talented, but a total headcase of a human being. Loved watching him on the field, but off the field...I always felt he needed a keeper...

...he doesn't deserve this though. :hmm:
