Peter King: Moss might be on the block

[Mr. Cynical]

He mentioned that Miami and the Jets were "cursory" interests over the last few years and could be possible places IF he is traded at the end of the year. As much as I hate him, I hope he does not go to those teams. I would HATE to see him score a TD in the Ralph and do all his BS.

[YardRat]

Any clue about the cap implications for Minny, NYJ, or fins??? Could the trade actually happen??

[FTG]

Moss to Miami was being rumored last offseason. I doubt the Vikes move him

[DaBills]

Moss is a prima donna who needs to be indoors on turf. Culpepper is his best chance to be that deep threat WR. None of those other teams can offer him that kind of arm. Wait until he tries to run over a NYC meter maid — she'd open up a can of whoop-ass on him.

[Chadwick King of NY]

moss & pennington played together in college, moss still says chad is the best qb hes played with, which is suprising seeing as chad cant throw the ball further than 25 yards

Moss to Clevelend = bad ass team

[Typ0]

maybe cincy

[Typ0]

We need to take a shot at Garcia.

NY is a different thing all together than MN. Me-shawn couldn't hack it. No way Moss gets along with the media if he went there.

[Bulldog]

Garcia sucks!

[DaBills]

Flutie syndrome. Too many batted balls at the line.

[Billz_fan]

Garcia sucks!

I would take Garcia over Bledstone.

Moss rec'd an $18 million signing bonus in 2001. Amortize it over 7 yrs and that is $2,571,429 per season. $2,571,429 X 4 seasons = $10,285,714 of the signing bonus already accounted for in cap yrs 2001-2004. Thus, if traded, Minnesota would have a "dead cap" of $18,000,000 - $10,285,714 = $7,714,286

His salaries are as follows:

2005 7250000.00
2006 8250000.00
2007 9750000.00
2008 11250000.00

Thus, his 2005 cap number is $7.25 million + $2,571,429 = $9,821,429 (do not know about any other bonuses).

2005 Cap savings (yes, cap savings): $9,821,429 - $7,714,286 = $2,107,143
2006 cap savings: about $11 million
2007 cap savings: about $12.5 million
2008 cap savings: about $13 million

Acquiring team would assume remaining yrs of salaries. At this time, Miami would not likely be his destination. However, NY Jets could because they could give Vikings their #1 pick, WR Santana Moss, plus maybe a player on defense. It would make some sense for the Jets. Not Miami because they really do not have a top player to trade (cap wise) other than CB Surtain and their #1 pick is 2nd overall. I wouldn't trade that pick for Randy Moss. Jets have the cap room to acquire him but Miami would need to do a lot of work.

Clump is da man on salary cap shizit

[Iehoshua]

I bet Baltimore would be salivating at the chance to get R.Moss... They are in dire need of a #1 receiver...
