Randy Moss didn't catch a pass for the Patriots on Monday night in Miami, and there's a chance he may not catch another one for them again. Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reported Tuesday night on Twitter that the Patriots and Vikings were "very close" to a deal that would send Moss from New England back to the Vikings, provided he and Minnesota could agree on the contract extension the Patriots don't want to give him.
Moss, who is making $6.4 million this season, is set to become a free agent after the year ends. After New England's season-opening win over Cincinnati, Moss said he didn't feel "appreciated" by the Patriots.
According to a report by BostonHerald.com, citing a source, Moss asked the Patriots for a trade following that blowup.
A source close to the discussions declined to confirm to FanHouse that a deal was imminent, but the source did say Tuesday night the two sides have been having discussions that have centered on Moss going to Minnesota for a third-round draft pick and that the discussions would continue Wednesday morning. A possible reunion with the Vikings -- and a pairing with the wideout-starved Brett Favre -- is likely appealing to Moss, assuming he can get his contract demands met, though the source indicated that the Vikings might be willing to do the deal even without a new contract for Moss in place.
