Randy Moss traded by Patriots ...

[skmsw]

... back to Vikings, for a third-round pick?

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

Where was Mo?

In al seriousness, though, with my limited football knowledge that seems like a prety fair trade and beneficial for both sides.

The Patriots now have 2 picks in each of the first 4 rounds this year.

I don't get this. What was the reasoning for the Pats this early in the season? Did I miss some disgruntled Moss drama?

A little. The Patriots weren't going to re sign him, so they may as well get something for him.

Leaves them pretty thin at WR though for a team with a legitimate chance to go deep into the playoffs.

They probably have a future All Pro on their practice squad or something.

The NFL trade deadline isn't that far off. I think it's two weeks from now. Granted, that's two games the Pats could've had him. But who knows if they would've gotten the same return from a Vikings team desperate to not let their season get away from them.

A disgruntled Moss has a history of giving less than his all. When he's trying -that guy makes it look easier on deep balls and endzone catches than any WR in football- probably ever. But the Patriots figured he was going to be the disgruntled Randy.

Brandon Tate has some wheels. Picking him up off the fantasy waiver wire.
