Cowboys to say no to Randy Moss again
Todd Archer
A few weeks ago Jerry Jones somewhat jokingly apologized to Randy Moss for not selecting the wide receiver in the first round of the 1998 draft.
Maybe he will have to apologize to him again for not claiming him on waivers.
Minnesota is expected to waive Moss today, although it seems Brad Childress' announcement Monday came as a surprise to the Vikings' front office, making him available to every team in the league, but on his radio show on The Fan Tuesday morning, Jones said the club would pass.
Based on their 1-6 record, the Cowboys are third in the claiming process behind Buffalo and Carolina.
Whew.
Claiming Moss would have made sense if he played on the offensive line or safety, but the Cowboys do not need more wide receivers. They're fine with Miles Austin, Roy Williams and Dez Bryant. If any team claims Moss, they are on the hook for the final nine weeks of his salary. If not, then Minnesota has to pay him the remainder of the money.
Could this have been an NBA-like move made by the Patriots where a player is cut with the wink-wink, nod-nod they'll bring him back in 30 days? It's a huge conspiracy theory, obviously, but think about it: they trade Moss to Minnesota for a third-round pick. He sticks with them for about a month, gets cut and now the Patriots are free to get him back if they want.
Nah, I'm not going there either, but it's fun to talk about.
