Titans Claim Randy Moss Off Waivers

Rep

 

whoa, whoa, whoa............. there is a huge wave of opinion that 'there is no risk with this move' both here at GIF and nationally and I couldn't disagree more. There ARE reasons that 30 teams passed on Moss. Moss is a huge risk and CAN hurt a team. This IS a gamble by the Titans.

#1 -- Putting a player on the field who is going to jog his routes is similar to taking a player off the field and playing 10 on 11.

#2 -- The time/attention that the coaches will need to give to Moss because he is new to their system and is a headcase takes away time/attention they can give to the rest of the team.

#3 -- The Titans inherit Moss's $6.4 mill contract for this season. For each game he is on their roster, it costs the Titans $400,000 that Moss may/may not earn. That's a financial risk.

#4 -- And whether anyone wants to believe it or not, a player with Moss's attitude CAN affect a locker room. He can rub off on other players who are susceptible and who also have problems with authority.

 

Moss's behavior is puzzling to me, because he's in a contract year. How many contract players have been kicked off of 2 teams in the same season?

 

true. who knows what's going on in the guy's head ................

and I can't see anyone giving him the huge contract he wants ............ he'll be lucky to get a small 1 or 2 year deal like T.O. just did at this point in his career ...........
