All that's left to decide is what number he'll wear.
After a weekend or so of sports talk exposure, including a bit of hosting with folks who know a damn side more about pigskin than I do, I've reached the sad conclusion that Randy Moss will be a Green Bay Packer soon.
The Raiders want him gone and they reportedly want only backup QB Aaron Rodgers in return, if you listen to the fine folks at ProFootballTalk.com.
Moss and Brett Favre have the same agent, as does a potential first round Raider draft choice who, coincidentally, is a wide receiver, Calvin Johnson. The Packers slapped a gag order on all Moss talk, but didn't do what could've ultimately ended all the scuttlebutt: say that there's not going to be a deal for him.
I'm guessing Favre's back because he likes where the team's at and because G-M Ted Thompson promised Number Four pretty much whatever he wants in what appears to be his final Green Bay campaign. Moss could be Favre's final indulgence--a wideout who can stretch the field and open things up for Donald Driver, Greg Jennings and other potential targets.
Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk--but but then again, the guy supposedly trying to get Moss to Green Bay will no doubt have his number hanging in the Lambeau Ring of Honor. I will not be accorded similar accolades.
And, something tells me Moss won't be, either.
