Randy Moss Trade: Vikings and Patriots Talking Deal for WR

Could the Monday night victory over the Miami Dolphins be the last Randy Moss plays in as a New England Patriot?

According to FOXsports.com's Jay Glazer, the Minnesota Vikings and the New England Patriots are "very close" to completing a deal that would send the Pro Bowl receiver back to Minnesota.

Moss has showed his reasoning for no longer wanting to be a Patriot. He is disappointed with the inability to receive a contract extension from the Patriots, and at the beginning of the year, he said that he expects to be somewhere else in 2010.

At this point in time, there is no finished deal on the table. However, the rumored price is a third-round pick.

Before a team such as the Washington Redskins take interest in a receiver like Moss, this may be the best, and only chance for the Minnesota Vikings to emerge as a contender again in the NFC.

Brett Favre is hoping for a No.1 receiver to join the team. The Vikings passed on Vincent Jackson, but may be landing a new receiver in Moss.
