Report: Vikings waive Randy Moss

Randy Moss' bizarre press conference Sunday night wound up being his farewell to Minnesota.

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports that the Vikings waived Moss on Monday. At his Monday press conference, Vikings coach Brad Childress mentioned that he allowed Moss to stay back in Boston for a few days before re-joining the team. Looks like he can stay there.

We have no reason to believe the story is not true, but PFT can report via a league source that Moss is not yet aware that he's been released.

Moss would now be subject to leave waiver rules and could be claimed by any team. The Bills would have the first crack at him because they have the worst record.

Lombardi writes that Childress inform the Vikings in a team meeting that Moss was out.

Perhaps there was more to the story of Moss not returning with the team on Sunday night. Maybe Moss' press conference frustrated Childress more than he let on and they say the direction his lack of cooperation with the team was going.

Either way, two different teams have decided in the second time in a month that Moss' declining production was no longer worth all the trouble of keeping him around.

At least the Patriots got a third-round pick out of it.

On a serious note, I wouldn't mind having him. He's still the best WR in the NFL in a pure talent standpoint. However, you gotta control him. Will Mike McCarthy and our Coaches be able to do that? If so, pick him up for a year.

Moss creates headaches for defenses. Nobody can cover him, and I really mean nobody. He has to be double teamed. I watched most of the Vikings/Patriots game and the Patriots double teamed him the whole game. That left Harvin one-on-one and Harvin had a pretty good day because of it.

We all know Mike McCarthy likes to go deep. Driver's hurt and probably won't be 100% for the rest of the season. That leaves Jennings and Jones as our deep threats and they're good, but they're not Randy Moss.

Note the asterisk. I said IF we can control him.

EDIT: LOL. Thanks Digs. ;)
I must have posted the same time you did.
