Santana Moss for Laveraneous Coles?

That is the rumored trade the Redskins will make with the Jets if they can clear enough cap space. Moss is pushing the Jets for a new contract, so flipping him to Washington allows the Jets to have Coles long-term at a decent price.

Personally, I think this hurts the Jets a little. Coles is more consistent than Moss, but is not the big-play or ST threat. Also, Coles has that nagging foot problem he has played with for over a year, and he refuses to get surgery.

The source is reportedly Newsday in NY:

I don't understand this one at all. It basically is the Jets front office admitting that they shouldn't have gotten rid of Coles and that Moss is not that good. I disagree. The Jets shouldn't part with Moss, they should try to get a Mason or Coles to put alongside Moss.

I think a driving force is Moss wants a big-money extension and the Jets don't want to give it to him. They would have Coles locked up at a cap-friendly price long-term.

ESPN has picked up (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?id=1999620)the story.

Swapping garbage cans.

I don't know why the Jets are messing around with offensive personnel. They also have McCareins on the other side. Their O wasn't as explosive last season was due to their OC, not players.

Peter King (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/peter_king/02/25/king.coles/index.html) is also reporting it.

The other funny thing is that Moss was pretty good at Punt returns and was starting to develop into a great deep threat for Pennington. This just doesn't make sense to me.
