2010 NFL Rumors: Randy Moss Traded to Minnesota Vikings

Randy Moss said that this would be his last year in New England. He was right.

Early this morning, the Patriots and Vikings were working to finalize a deal that would send Moss back to the Vikings in exchange for a third round draft pick.

Coming off of an outing where Moss was held without a catch, it seems that there is some serious disconnect between he and Coach Belichick. It's not often a team trades its top wideout just before Week Five in a season, but the Patriots are certainly no ordinary team.

What does this mean for the Vikings? It finally gives them a legitimate deep threat with Sidney Rice sidelined. With Moss now in the fold for Minny, it should certainly help open up their struggling passing attack. 

QB Brett Favre and Moss have talked about playing with one another for some time now, and it seems that they'll finally have the opportunity. 

Those with Moss on their fantasy teams should certainly wait to see how Moss fares in his new home before thinking about trading him, because this deal could very well wind up inflating his value tremendously. 

Moss can't seem to shake the stigma that has surrounded him since his first go-around with the Vikings, but he'll happily rejoin his old team and is sure to be as motivated as ever.
