The Green Bay Packers have explored a trade with the Raiders that would send Randy Moss, the wide receiver who once pretended to moon the crowd at Lambeau Field, to Wisconsin, according to a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Details are hazy -- though one unnamed ``Raiders employee'' seems to take pleasure in railing on Moss -- but it appears Moss would have to restructure his contract, which includes base salaries of $9.75 million in 2007 and $11.25 million in 2008.
The NFL's free-agency period begins Thursday night

All these are nice little reads.........
 
Two things can happen here to make me happy.

1) Moss develops a chip on his shoulder and tries to prove everyone wrong about him. He actually works hard and comes back to Oakland a rejuvenated player.

2) Oakland trades him for a conditional pick, starting in the third round but with performance incentives kicking it up to a first if he breaks, I dunno, 1300 yards.
 
A first day pick, to go with the 3rd I expect us to get from Woodson? Hooo, baby.
 
Ill take a third this year and call it a day.
 
Well the details are "hazy"... Duh.

What happened to the first round pick from GB and we give them our third or something? I like that one.

No matter what I think it's safe to say at this point where there's smoke there's fire. The Raiders seem clearly interested in unloading Moss. To me that sounds like CJ might be on the top of the Raiders draft board.

I bet a 2nd is out of the question, unless we get a conditional for 2008.

I'm guessing a 3rd, and a 4th or 5th maybe.

With those extra picks, plus Woodson's 3rd, I'd almost guarantee we wind up with 2 #1's.
 
Can't trade conditional picks, though.. so Woodson's comp-pick is irrelevant other than our willingness to give up other picks for having it. (Essentially, two picks at the top of the 4th round)

That being said, yeah.. we definately look poised to make a stab back into the first... AND.. we look very strong to trade down 2-3 spots or more and still get 'our guy'. Trading down once should land us J-Russ or Calvin Johnson (my preference). Trading down twice should get us Quinn or Lynch/Petersen.

I'm cool with either of those scenarios.

Yeah, we can't trade the Woodson pick, which I'm happy about, but with an extra 3rd, 5th (Gabe), and maybe 6th for Hamilton, there's plenty of ammo to:

Dare I say it? Leapfrog the Jets. If Lynch makes it past the Packers, and I think he will, we make the move up past the Jets, and we have our backfoeld for the next 10 years.

Ideal situation is the Jets trading for Michael Turner. That would give me wood. Lynch is a Cal guy, and a Raider fan.
 
I believe a trade of Moss and our 33rd pick for Green Bays 16th pick is fair compensation enough

Might have to leapfrog the Giants, too.

They're suddenly in the market for a "lightning" to go with their "thunder"

Chris Henry, the 240 lb back from AZ who ran an official 4.4 forty is a Raider fan and was born in Oakland.

Just sayin... that extra 3rd rounder could give us depth

Yeah, I've heard they are talking to the Bills about MaGahee.

Maybe it's just me, but how much sense to Rhodes make for the Giants? Is that just too obvious?

Love him, but not that early. Workout warrior. If I am not mistaken, look like Tarzan, play like Jane.
 
McGahee to the Giants would certainly push Lynch down farther.

Rhodes does make sense, but he might think he can get a real payday, and I can't see the Giants anteing up for him, especially given Coughlin's tough-guy routine and Rhodes' recent arrest.
 
Chris Henry lit up Oregon. Otherwise he did nothing, NOTHING all year.

And he was too scared of the new coach's spread philosophy to come back.

I don't want a guy who's afraid to compete.

Full Moon in Green Bay: Moss to Packers Picks Up Steam
Posted Feb 28th 2007 2:33PM by Dan Benton
Filed under: Packers, NFC North, NFL Rumors

The very man who once mooned Green Bay Packers fan may soon be donning the green and gold. This afternoon on Sirius radio they announced that the Randy Moss to Green Bay rumors are picking up steam. They claimed the Packers are very interesting in acquiring Moss if they could get him to restructure, but no potential return was mentioned.

A lot of people refer to Moss as a "cancer" but I tend to disagree. Moss is actually the least troublesome receiver on the Raiders at the moment and he's grown up a lot since his Vikings days. I think Brett Favre would be a calming influence on him and it would result in one hell of a deadly combination.

Without offering something obscene, I think the Packers should do whatever it takes to bring Moss to Green Bay. A healthy and semi-mobile Brett Favre could have a field day with a play-maker like Randy Moss. Not only would it satisfy Moss' taste for being the "go-to guy," it may also add another year or two onto Favre's career.
 
Henry's got a hole in his bucket

Like most people, I'd never heard of him before the combine. His stats look okay at best (3.5 yards per carry in 2005) and he looks like the grinch:eek:
But great size/speed and possible value with the 1st in the fourth.
 
It would not surprise me if Henry doesn't get drafted at all.

Producing on the field still means SOMETHING. Not everything, but something.

And this kid did nothing in three years. He's got NFL Europe written all over him.

And better athletes than him have gone undrafted, too.
 
Henry doesn't even have a 1000 career rushing yards as a college player. I wonder how many college running backs with fewer then 1000 yards have gone on to the NFL and rushed for say more then 3000 yards in a career. I can't imagine its many, if any.

RUMORS FLY OF RODGERS FOR MOSS

Word has reached PFT world headquarters of a rumored trade that would send Oakland Raiders receiver Randy Moss to the Green Bay Packers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

We're told that the Raiders want a first-round pick for Moss, and that the Packers have countered with an offer of Rodgers, who was Green Bay's first round pick in the 2005 draft.

Stay tuned. Though we never would have imagined that Moss and Packers quarterback Brett Favre could coexist, it looks like this one could indeed be going down
