I know we have talked about him before, but it seems like talks between the Packers and the Moss are starting to pick I up. I really hope they can work something out with him. If they can sign Moss it won't matter who they have at RB.

The Packers need a #3 wide receiver, a tight end, and a running back to be competitive in 2007.
Randy Moss, on the downside of his career might be worth the risk to fill the #3 receiver slot. DO NOT confuse the Randy Moss of today with the Randy Moss that used to burn the Packers when he was a Viking. His numbers last year speak for themselves (42 catches, 550 yards, only 3 TD's).
Found it interesting that Bob Harlan came public with the phone calls he's received from Packer fans telling him what a lousy idea adding Moss to the Packers would be. Seems to me he doesn't want the guy, and he's going to make it awfully difficult on Ted Thomson to pursue the deal.
As an aside, Thompson should spend more of his time concentrating on getting the Burner Turner deal done.

Are you kidding me, no offense to all the Turner fans on this board, but he is not worth a number 1 pick.

Amen. I love Turner, but he's not worth the #16 pick in the draft.
PLEASE get this deal done. I'll take back most of the bad things I've said about Thompson if he can get this deal done.
According to his agent, he's better than any running back in this year's draft. Of course, any agent is going to say that about his client, but he very well may be right!
If you're looking to draft a running back with your 1st round pick (#17 overall), you may not find someone as good as Turner has PROVEN to be.
Don't forget that Ron Wolf traded his #1 pick to acquire Brett Favre from Atlanta who was sitting on his butt as a 3rd stringer that had thrown 2 passes in his NFL career.

That was Ron Wolf, not Ted Thompson, two different GMs, two different styles. At #16 they will most likely be able to get Marshawn Lynch as a replacement for Amhan Green.

I agree. Thompson is pretty risk adverse.
If he can't trade for Moss, he may end up using the number one pick on a wide receiver. Their ought to be some goods ones still available (Jarrett from USC comes to mind) when they pick. This year's draft seems to be pretty deep at receiver.

Your completely right, as a Packer fan it gets frustrating seeing Thompson sit around as teams sign big free agents and the Packers do nothing while having money to spend. But then again I can't disagree with his style after the draft he put together last year.
Just recently i saw something about the Patriots going after Moss so i would look into that as well, it was reported on SPortscenter

Moss wanted to go to the Pats, but they had no interest in him. Hence why they signed Stallworth, traded for Welker, and signed two other WRs.

Moss is just not a factor anymore. His game has declined by huge amounts and I do not think he would make much of a factor no matter where he ends up.

I saw that too, but with their recent additions I highly doubt they have interest. I have heard Miami might want to trade for Moss though.

How many Oakland Raiders games have you seen in the last two years? That's what I thought.

To say he won't be factor no matter where he goes is a pretty bold statement. Over the past two years he has been injuried and had terrible QB throwing to him. Favre has made below average WR look good, and has probably made good receivers look great.

I saw several Raiders games last year, and if you were watching, you would have seen for yourself that Moss is not the player he used to be. He was a complete non-factor in '06.

Your right last year he was a non-factor, but you have to remember that he was not playing healthy. He also had Andrew Walters throwing him the ball, Walters only had three TD passes all year. That probably had a huge factor on Moss's production.
a lot of teams just dont want to take the chance at which Moss they will get whether it be the vikings version (actually quite awesome to watch) or the "later" version, the one who thinks he should have everything his way all the time. sure denny green took a chance on him but as of late he's made himself more of a joke than tge superstar he used to be. good luck to where ever he might go tho.
Once a star player declines, it is EXTREMELY rare for them to get back that form. Moss is done.

^^Scared Bears fan in denial that the Packers could be better than them next year.

HAH, I dont think so Trav, in fact like alot of Bears fans I was relieved to hear that Favre would be coming back. The longer it takes Green Bay to stop living in the past and move forward, the longer the NFC North will be a cakewalk every year :)
