Reports are that the Raiders and Vikings have completed a deal, but cannot talk about it for a week. The deal would include Moss for Napoleon Harris, a number 1 draft and either another player or pick.

The running back depth in this draft is pretty good, so maybe they think they can get a good runnning back later. I think they need that more then a wide receiver. Moss is a pain in the ass, but if you put him anywhere the Raiders made the most sense. They love that image.

It also looks like Travis Henry RB, Bills will be going to the Cardinals for L.B Shelton.

It looks to be a strong rumor. Seem ok to me. at least we'll have a solid RB..need an O line still though!

Moss won't do crap in Oakland until Oakland gets some semblance of a running game and a QB that can actually throw the ball. I think he will get lucky to catch 50 passes. He is a good fit in Oakland though.

Minnesota has a great receiving corps and they can do well without Moss. I think it was a good idea to trade him and get some good compensation.

Gannon will be back next year I think and he is no slouch throwing the ball. If Gannon is back and in good form I can see Moss getting upto 15-20 catches in a game.

Personally, No matter who the QB is he'll be the #1 receiver... With that said, 50 passes? More like 90+ if he plays the entire season. He's got great hands, big head, but damn he's quick as hell especially with that size. Depending if they can get a decent RB as said, or put famous amos to work, all should be well and I predict a 10-6 season.

Sure he will be the top receiver but that isn't sayign much. You still need a QB that can throw the ball accurately. I predict he'll start complaining after the first game when 4 balls go over his head.

Gannon is done. He is too old and I doubt they will give him another chance except as a backup. Sadly, Kerry Collins isn't much better. I predict a 5-11 season unless they draft well.
