Report: Randy Moss on trade block?
ESPN.com news services

The New England Patriots are in talks to trade wide receiver Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings, FoxSports.com reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources. More from ESPN.com

When the Vikings ran Randy Moss out of town in March 2005, ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert was convinced of two things: They had done the right thing, and he would never, ever be in a Vikings uniform again. Not so fast? Blog

The deal is being held up because Moss would have to sign an extension with the Vikings, according to the report. Contract talks have not even begun, a league source told Profootballtalk.com Tuesday night. A player source confirmed to ESPN Senior NFL Analyst Chris Mortensen that the teams are talking and are trying to get a deal done. "I don't know if there have been any discussions, but I can confirm that we haven't traded Randy Moss," Patriots vice president of media relations Stacey James told ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss. The seven-time Pro Bowl receiver is in the final year of his four-year deal with New England and has voiced his displeasure at his limbo status. "When you have done so much and put so much work in, it kind of feels like I am not wanted," Moss said before the season began on Sept. 6. "I am taking that in stride and playing my final year out and whatever the future holds is what it holds, but it is kind of a bad feeling -- feeling not wanted. It is not like my production has gone down." A few days later he apologized for the timing of his comments and said he loves playing in New England. But the Boston Herald, citing an unnamed source, reported on Tuesday that Moss wanted out of New England after a Week 1 win on Sept. 12, telling his agent to ask the Patriots to trade him. Although the Patriots crushed the Dolphins on Monday night, Moss did not have a catch -- the first time that's happened for him in a New England uniform. The FoxSports.com report did not specify what the Patriots would get for giving up their primary deep threat. Moss, 33, started his career with the Vikings after being taken in the first round of the 1998 draft. He led the league in touchdown receptions three times for Minnesota before heading to Oakland in 2005. The Vikings have been looking for help at receiver for quarterback Brett Favre, but they were unable to work out a deal for the Chargers' Vincent Jackson. Moss has only nine catches for 139 yards and three TDs through four games this season. That comes after hauling in 83 passes for 1,264 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. His career year came in his first with the Pats, when he caught 98 passes for 1,493 yards and 23 TDs.

Moss is still hovering around #10 WR in my estimation.

This is not good for the Bears not matter how you look at it. The Vikings might appear desperate, but they are fixing their biggest weakness as we speak.

We will have to line up across from Moss, Rice and Harvin when we play them after the bye week and that is not good for us.

SFB, we did; we dropped that bust manderson and got a minor leaguer to replace him on the DL. What you don't think the pass rush is our biggest problem? Let me guess you problably think we need to fix our OL....LOLOLOLOLOL what are you nuts, we have Kruetz, Louis, Garza, Williams and Omy/Schaffer...they will dominate foreva!

LOL. No OL problem, heard Lovie in the presser say he saw some things they did right...looked good during warm ups, didn't get out of their seat on the plane and no one missed curfew.

I don't think Moss would help MN much, so I would like to see them give up a high draft pick for a guy that will have TJack throwing to him next year, Moss will disappear just like he did with the raiders.
