MattyT Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 What if we pick him up and lose him through FA? We could get a mighty nice compensatory pick. Only downside is if he actually helps us and blows our high draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 i dont care about bringing him to Buffalo. i dont think its going to happen, he wouldnt want to play here anyways. that being said...

cage Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Bills have first crack at him on waivers.....PASS !! OK,... someone has to say it Moss opposite Lee Evans would light up the league. With Roscoe Parrish in the slot they'd be unstoppable. Add in David Nelson and there would 2 tall guys to throw to on 3rd down. Stevie Johnson to the inactive list... sorry. Couldn't keep a straight face typing that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbuffalobob Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I hope one of these two things happen: A) Moss is claimed by the Bills- mainly as punishment, not because the Bills brass or I want him... just to make his life miserable. Sign him and let him play Pine End opposite Maybin. Seeing him sit it out in the freezing Buffalo cold for the rest of the year and miss the playoffs with a wineless team would be justice. B) Moss is claimed by the Bungels. Imagine having all three whack-job WR's on the same team? Catfight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartshan-83 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Crazy, but Randy and Belichick might just have the league by the nuts the here. NO team wants a surly, disinterested Randy Moss. James Hardy is a better use of a roster space. So no team is going to put in a claim without contacting him first. Bottom-feeders know better because Moss wants nothing to do with that. Middle-of-the-road teams know better because unless he explicitly signs on, they don't want to be the even bigger joke who cuts him AGAIN in 3 weeks. Contenders know better unless he explicitly signs on because why mess with what they have? What can anyone do? If it gets to the Jets, is Ryan really going to mess with his already delicate season by signing the biggest malcontent as a defensive move? He'll lose the team for sure. Well played...

lets_go_bills Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) They're still talking about it. La Canfora says he's talked to a few GMs and the general consensus is that he'll go unclaimed and then be re-signed by NE. Minny loses the pick AND would be on the hook for his salary. Unreal. The NFL CANNOT allow this happen. Edited November 1, 2010 by lets_go_bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I dont see any point at all in bringing Moss in, and I honestly never thought I would say that. This team is 0-7 with nothing to play for other than their jobs next year and to develop our young talent. No way Moss would ever resign here next year at this stage of his career because he wants to win and doesnt do well in losing enviroments. More importantly, it would impeded the development of SJ and Nelson with another mouth to feed. So, for me, as exciting of a player as Moss can be, this just isnt a good fit because we are not going anywhere this year, he doesnt thrive in losing enviroments, we have young guys that need the reps, and he wouldnt resign here next year.

djcalvin79 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 so how about we pick up Moss.. play him a couple of weeks whether he likes it or not, then cut him if it's not working out?! if we pick him up at this time, even temporarily, what do we have to lose? how does it work, is Minny paying him till the end of the year?

DC Tom Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Cinci, here I come - can you imagine? Moss, Owens, and Ocho Cinco? They'd have to invent a new "Too many egos on the field" penalty. I'd pay real money to watch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL CANNOT allow this happen. Why? I dont get the hate on NE if they pull this off as they havent broken a single rule. This is all on the Vikes...they cut him after giving up a 3rd for him and now some team, possibly NE, is going to benefit from thier regretted trade. Our fans would be jumping for joy if our team did this. What if Sea cuts Lynch (who has been struggling there, and they already cut LenDale White right after trading for him) and he resigned here? Is anyone going to be screaming for the NFL to block that too? I doubt it. If he ends up back in NE, then I tip my cap to them as they essentially get Moss back while they got rid of his salary, got Branch and upgraded their draft pick from a 4th (the one they sent to Sea) to a 3rd (one they got from Vikes). I could only dream our FO could pull something like this off. If this happens... NE - Gets Moss, Branch, 3rd Round pick...Loses Moss's salary and a 4th round pick.
