Moss talks back on?

Profootballtalk.com reports that discussions between the Raiders and Packers picked up where they left off on a possible transaction which would send Randy Moss to Green Bay. The deal apparently stalled while the Raiders were trying to lure QB Jeff Garcia to Oakland.

The Packers are rumored to be offering Aaron Rodgers or a second round draft pick in exchange for Moss. Seems a little light in terms of compensation for Moss, but maybe the Raiders are willing to cut their losses and get the high priced headache out of Oakland once and for all.

PFT also mentions the Jags and Patriots as potential suitors for Moss’ services. Can’t really see Bill Belichick putting up with Randy Moss’s nonsense.

Glad to hear the Raiders inked Ronald Curry to a one year deal on Sunday. Curry is one of those guys that always seems to be on the verge of taking that next step, but circumstances always seem to get in the way. Who will ever forget that one-handed grab he made in Denver in the end-zone on that snowy Monday night a couple of years ago.

Injuries have been Curry’s biggest obstacles. The guys has skills, he just needs to get past the IR every year. I’d love to see him thrive as the Raiders # 2 receiver (which assumes that I get my wish and Moss is dealt before the start of training camp).

As for the other free agents being considered by Oakland, Daniel Graham seems like a reasonable solution to help establish more blocking presence on the line AND catch a few balls. Reggie Kelly is another option.

Ahman Green is a has-been, which means the Raiders will probably ink him to a multi-year deal.
