Brett Favre is one happy old man this morning. Minnesota has acquired WR Randy Moss from the New England Patriots. What did they have to give up? Only a 3rd round pick in next year's draft. It was clear Moss was unhappy in New England, so the fact the Patriots dumped Moss is no surprise. But the Patriots gave up Tom Brady's best and most feared offensive weapon for a future draft pick. The emergence of rookie tight ends Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski have been great for the Patriots' passing game. But New England must be extremely confident in WR Brandon Tate's ability to be a legit deep threat to trade Moss.
This was a great move for the Minnesota Vikings. Once Sidney Rice comes back from injury, the Vikings may have the best group of wide receivers in the league. How do you defend Moss, Rice, Percy Harvin, and Visanthe Shiancoe, with Adrian Peterson in the backfield? Good luck to those that will try. The Patriots, on the other hand, may regret this move in December when they're battling the New York Jets for the AFC East title.
